I'm suprised you can make such a statement when you haven't actually seen the finished article in the flesh:rolleyes:
The feedback from "testers" has been very positive, the good thing is there will be more choice in the Market place :)

And why the feck should Inov8 be exempt from the FRA Forum's rules?!?!?!

This has been done to death in a few other threads. Lets not allow it to take over this one.

You mean letting him self censor his own posts (catholic guilt?), all that happened was a call for blatant selling and self promotion to be stopped, something that was previously done privately and politely by the administrators and ignored by II well before this was brought up on the forum. (and which he neglects to mention). Interesting to see a formal warning shot had now been posted on thus thread

Like any company they go where they can think they can get the most money hence the Scandinavian sales first, nothing wrong with that, but explains the nature of his posts on the forum.

Are you usually this easily manipulated by salesmen (or perhaps you are married to him ?;),

oh and I had a nice time whilst away thank you.

Finished with this now, roll on the three peaks.

There speaks a worried man, I expected a bit more sophisticated reply but when the veneer is exposed!!!!, I assume you are feeling put upon (again).

Check out Brett's comment, he manages the forum.

Thanks for the offer, I will of course come back to you if I require subjective comments on brand X.

Anyway as said finished with this, pm me if you wish to continue the abuse. See you next week.

We could go away together next time.

Feeling a bit too full of good humour given the recent sparring with II and others so went with family to see Les Misrables on thurs evening in London to get a bit of despondency and rage back. Lovely music but god its grim. Luckily my seats were not very good so I was able to complain and get better ones so that helped as well.

Then went to Abingdon to watch my brother in the homecoming parade of the Counter IED task force, which was quite humbling especially when they read the names of the seven killed. A sapper who was a double amputee also took part. We then went to the the family day at the barracks where the free stalls for children and families included a hand grenade throwing contest and a chance to steer a remote control disposal robot along an assault route - you got a certificate for taking part in any of these and I am proud of mine especially as I beat bruv in the hand grenade throwing.

A few beers then a lazy saturday in the sun, things were looking good so went on a 8 mile very flat road run which helped to get me riled again and combined with heavy traffic on the journey home today I now feel suitably embittered:D

My gripe is that whenever Orocs arrive in the UK they will be no use to me, because they will be Performance fit so too tight for my feet plus orthotics. Come on, Insider, catering for front-running heroes may be glamorous, but surely recreational and back of field runners are actually more numerous. How about exciting new shoes for us that won't pinch our toes?

---

Back to important issues - why can't the duck-footed among us get shoes that are lighter and less cushioned :D

Alexandra makes a perfectly valid observation that the lighter weight shoes that use the "performance" last are toe-squeezers, and those of us with wide feet and uncomfortable with squozen toes still want the LIGHTEST LEAST cushioned shoes that we can get. There are no shortage of heavier clunkier shoes out there, not looking for Inov8s version (see Insiders response to Alexandra's post). I love Inov8s vision, now I want some shoes that fit my feet :cool:
