Most people tend to go up half a size for the Black / Red Cheviot mk2's. If you're 10 Mudclaw then go 10.5 for Cheviots.Quote:

Grip on non rocky surfaces transformative. Cant really comment on extended rocky surface yet. But I will be racing in them.
Great run today around the Edale Skyline. Conditions were hard/icy underfoot, with frozen bogs over Brown Knoll. Shoes were great. No difference against Inovs or Walsh, other than better grip on the down and up from Grindslow to Ringing Roger. Time will tell if they stay together, but now wear in the uppers after several longer fell runs and 2 races.
I've just got a lovely red and black pair of these. They match my KCAC sweatshirt and are rather good I think. As good as my mudclaws dare I say :o
Good tip. Since I've got all sizes of shoes from 5 to 6.5 in my shoe cupboard, I was having trouble guessing which size to order, so I did what you suggested, settled for the 6 and just sent the other back.:thumbup: Mind you, had I known someone would be selling them at the Flower Scar race on Sat. I could have saved myself the effort. Ah well.Quote:

Gave em a good work out on sugarloaf today. Utterly brilliant. Worrying about grip no longer an issue.
If I had spent £80-90 on these I would be feeling very smug in the knowledge that spending more gives you much better equipment. But they were £30. I am gobsmacked.
Googling around, I find that the only real reservation is about longevity.
So, question. What would be better? 3 pairs of these (maybe in different colours) or one pair of a premium brand?
Having done many runs, races and even the High Peak Marathon where the frozen bogs felt like running on broken bottles, I am more than happy with the Mk1 pair. They still have many more miles left in them.
