These would suit someone with size 8.5 feet, they seem slightly larger than normal shoes unlike most fell shoes where the size is usually slightly smaller which is why I am selling and going back to 290's as I know them to at least fit snugly.
The mileage covered is acurate with prob<1 mile tarmac so the studs are showing no wear as most of my runs have been on grass with very little rock/scree.
I have not steamed the heel so they are as new. They have a little dirt from Hameldon hill on them at the moment which I will scrub off before selling!
