I did hammer them on plenty of rock round the Lakes though.
My blue lugs are pretty beleaguered now too, but the important orange lugs are standing up very well to the assortment of gritstone, peat, road track and trail they've been subjected to.Quote:

I spoke to accelerate at edale skyline, they asked me what I thought of the mt110s I told them they're the best shoes I've had If they stuck an rx terrain sole on the minimus last they'd blow inov8 and Walsh out of the peat bog!
Dont like my 110s sockless, dirt always get inside and tend to get me blisters.. Also got an issue with the cushioning under my right foot, feels like it´s tilted on longer runs. It´s OK as long as i land on my fore foot but when i get tired and land on my mid foot pain builds..
Thats interesting, many people had issues with the left foot after time.Quote:

Unpate on Mt110
Have now covered 100+ miles in mine and they are feel brilliant. 8 mile off road yesterday with the club and I am surprised to see that I am the only one still wearing 'minimalist' flatter shoes.
I don't go sockless ever. Always wear my Thorlos and there has been no 'gathering' of the sock and not a single blister to report.
I was worried about durability, but they are holding up well.
Upper was my biggest worry but not a jot of wear, or separation from surrounding rubber.
Sole, forefoot and heel showing little progression of wear following early scuffing noticed after 10-20 miles, so that has been a big relief. Blue under the arch section obviously much softer has shown more wear and the lugs are definitely flatter, but frankly, if it does not disintegrate in this region, I will not worry as no grip is generally needed here.
I can see these holding up for 500-600 miles or even longer and should last me until the end of the year as I have separate road running shoes.
Dont post on here much but felt i would contribute to the general love in about these shoes!
Mine arrived Monday and i wore em straight out of the box and ran the Trunce. I was a bit unsure about the grips but they were no problem, i flew round and got a PB (28.13) and they were fine on all the surfaces. Amazing through the water and shed it straight away once through. they are super light and you kind of forget you are even wearing them.
tuesday did 14 miles from the snake up round Alport castles, to the shooting cabins then round to grains in the water and back to the car. Like on the trunce i went sockless, they are super comfy inside but the downside of the plastic mesh it that it lets loads of debris in and this soon began to rub.
Wednesday did another 16 miles in them, i found that in the peat they can slip a bit, but then most shoes do that, apart from that spot on!
So i reckon for short trail type runs no socks is good. if you are going 'off piste' especially over heather or through streams they will soon be full of grit and bits so socks needed...
in short like someone else has said , these for most of the year, walsh for winter. sorted! :) ( or probably not as my shoe fetish needs to be fed)!
MT110? Are these the ones described as' MT00' on the Sportsshoes website?
