Given the 110s are £40, for £110, the Trailrocs would have to have the above....and the ability to hover.Quote:

on further inspection it looks to me like the outer midsole at the front is thicker than the inner, is everyone elses like that? not sure if its an optical illusion or not but there are 3 grooves on the midsole on the outer at the front and only 2 on the inner.
felt good to run in and I have noticed that when up on my toes in other shoes I have a tendancy to push off more with the outer part of my foot than with my big toe which has led to tight calves and strains down my outer calf. maybe this shoe is designed to stop that or maybe its a flaw or maybe its nothing at all :confused:
There is quite a lot of debate about this issue. For me, they do list slightly, and it seems pronounced when standing. When running though, the shoe performed brilliantly for me, just shy of 3 hours for the first run and didnt encounter any issues, just fast midfoot strike running.Quote:

good to hear you 2 agree, felt good running. my big reservation was I am trying to go down the minimalist, back to basics running after a long time wearing orthotics etc. In theory you can't over pronate iff landing on your forefoot. I have done loads of foot and lower leg strengthening exercises and built up slowly with no injuries so far.
so this shoe rather alarmed me as it felt like it was almost forcing me into an over pronated position...however if you land on your fore to mid foot it seems to perform well.

glad you said that felt really odd when first tried on, not run in them yet so here's hoping they're ok.
re previous post... sport shoes first cancelled my order because they didn't have any , then sent me a pair:confused: unfortunately they remembered to charge me.
I can feel the slight angle in them too, but again they feel brilliant while running!
As can I, great to run in though!
the minimalist roads are the same when walking as they make it feel as though your feet are tilting in but as soon as you start to run the great.
If they made a shoe with the rx terrain sole on the 110 last I'd never buy a pair of inov8s or walshes ever again!
After a few runs in them i have to say i am very impressed, they are a great trail shoe, no good when it's gets very steep or muddy but they can handle a fair bit!
I think they're the perfect alternative to the Roclites. I'll probably wear them for most of the races I run in the Peak district this year.Quote:

Hello, new to FRA..
Had been waiting for friend to bring over a couple of pairs of the MT110s in US 14 (UK13.5), and was using the Saucony Peregrine as a stop gap, until I saw the MT110s on SD website (and F&T and Lilleywhites, all one company judging by the website appearance). Peregrine had been fine but with a stack height of 22mm heel and 18mm forefoot, just lost the feel I had with my MT10s. I had been using MT10 in size UK12.5 (larger sizes not available here).
Anyway, jumped at the chance of getting such a bargain and bought 2 pairs straightaway. First run out this morning 8.5miles, some road, canal path, riverbank, woodland and hills. What a fantastic shoe! Better grip than the MT10, without a doubt, more protection underfoot than the MT10. I loved the MT10, but the occasional sharp rock by the river bank was very painful. Stack height is 5mm less than the Peregrine, and the feedback from the ground is excellent. This is the best off road shoe I have worn. I cannot comment on Inov8 because they don't do my size in the UK, though I have seen some US 14 on US websites! What's that all about? Like there aren't people with big feet in Britain.
Anyway, in a nutshell, when I finally get my 2 pairs over from the US I'll have 4 in total and that's me sorted for the next 2-3 years depending on durability.
Well done New Balance, another fantastic shoe!
Done about 60+ miles in mine now and they are bedding in very nicely.
For me they feel vastly different on my feet compared to say the F195s, so far no problems at all.
The grip does have it limits, especially wet muddy grass, but alas they weren't designed for that, everything else they cope with well!
Looking forward to some more miles in them!
Only £35 at fieldandtrek now, size 7 only.
Proper bargain.
I wonder if they had a job lot and that's it? I've been doing pretty much all my running in them even on the fells, the only time they let me down is deep mud. I think the low profile makes a real difference to the grip.Quote:

They are getting a full UK release June/July, mine should last until then, ran in them for all of my midweek runs on local trails and fields, been running sockless and they feel great
Mine are bedding in lovely, I wore them round the Kinder Trog route and they were great very comfortable. They're definitely my long distance or training shoe of choice now.Quote:

Sweat shop have now too. Still gutted mine didn't fit. Tempted to try another pair on the off chance that the ones I got were duff.
Wore mine again last night and they seem to be 'bedding in' well too. They fit better than when I first wore them. I can see me wearing them a lot over the coming months if the weather remains dry:thumbup:
Ran Edale Skyline in mine yesterday. 21 miles in 20 degree heat and no blisters, fantastic shoes.
Yep fully agree, they are great!Quote:

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:

Alternating, ran tonight without, the other day with, depends :)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:

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?
