Recolite 190

Hi Pieter
I wouldn't suggest you use the Recolite for running.

Ideally you need to go to a specialist dealer and try on a few different shoes from different companies.
From our range I would look at the following ultralight minimalist shoes.
X-Talon 190-due out soon
X-Talon 212
Roclite 285- as Scott says one of my favourite shoes.

As for staying calm well I realise that most folks appreciate info from an insider.
You have to realise Pieter that in the UK there is a sport called " Strike" it's a bit like fishing you cast out a line and await for ******** to bite. Then you reel them in.
Great sport

New member here :-) I am a barefoot runner (Holland). In the mountains I need some protection though. I have run succesfully in 5-euro watershoes. Vibam Five Fingers would be great as well.

But - for our next summer holiday to the mountains, my family wants me to wear "normal" shoes.

What I look for is a shoe that
- protects my sole from sharp rocks
- protects my toes from stubbing
- has good grip
- is lightweight
- is flexible. I'm used to my feet 'working' and I hate putting them in a 'ski shoe'
- has a wide forefoot
- no heel lift (I am used to flat shoes and fore foot running)
- no arch support (hate that).

Questions:
1. To what extent is the Recolite 190 a candidate for me?
2. If I can do mountain runs in watershoes, can I do it in Recolites?
3. Will the sole survive a few days on rocky trails?
4. How is the fit? (lenght, width at forefoot and heel). My feet are wide at the toes.

THANKS IN ADVANCE !

And Inov-8 Insider, I like how you stay cool and factural, even when some posters get (kind of) agressive :D

:D You're welcome! Not that we have summer over here - but we do have cold wheather, clouds, rain and wind. So I suppose that as a Brit you would feel at home here ;)

PS: is this the Clegg effect (Dutch mother)? ;)

I started this first therefore you bite and I win (oh no you didn't, oh yes I did , its behind you etc):D

I think you will find that works both ways depending where you are stood, a lot of people also think you are a fool the issue is how I/you feel about it, if the issue is kudos we both lose. You seem a bit worried (again) - I have heard horlicks is relaxing;)

As long as you respond to my posts I shall continue enjoying myself, now where's that map of Holland.:D

Enjoy the rest of your evening, this is not worth all your fretting

The dutch on the forum seem to prefer to come over here, even preferring wales:confused:

Enjoyed my visits to your country even if you can't brew beer and serve mayo with chips. Have even seen sunshine and a hill.

not sure what the clegg effect you refer to is? are you referring to setting up a proportional voting system on the forum, where would inov insider go, who would he sell to:D

Nice to chat to you though.
