    Karhu: watch this space

    Lucky me: Karhu are sending me a pair of shoes to review. The deal is I've to put the reviews up on a "popular running forum"; I've checked and this counts!
    Good timing for me as I opted for redundancy recently and so have more time for training but less money for kit :thunbdown:.

    Well, they do say "buy cheap, buy twice". Shoes currently on their way, then I'll be able to see if the quality justifies the price.

    The interesting aspect of your reviewing is not going to be how they fit or feel after a couple of runs, but how they perform over the long term.
    At those prices I could buy three pairs of Swoop 2 and still have enough change left for a fish supper.

    The reviews will extend long after a couple of runs, and if they start to fall apart I'll be saying so: I have my credibility to consider!
