I wore my new Mudtalons for the first time today. I went for the wide fit, and also wore both Injinji toe socks and Dexshell waterproof socks. The wide fit is perfect for me - I did not need to skip the bottom 4 lace holes as I usually do. There were no problems with grip, though the route I did is not particularly challenging in that respect. After about 5 miles there was a hint that one of my heels was being rubbed, but this went away when I tightened the laces. Overall they felt similar to the X-Talon 260 V2s, but just that little bit wider. I need to try them on a tricky descent, such as that from Wansfell Pike. Very pleased with them so far
