This is proving to be a real help...... I'd be a 6.5 in inov8. And Pete Bland Sports have just recommended the mudclaw or mudroc. Mudroc would be my first choice to try. I too had Salomon a couple of years ago, but that was round the time of my IT knee probs, so i'm a tad wary to go back there again, although they were dead comfy... it could've been my road shoe, who knows. I'm not sure chopping and changing shoes all the time does much good. I tend to do that alot as I vary where I train/race.
