Hello Alf - mine have just split the mesh near the little toe on my right foot, this is after 6 months of using them a couple of times a week. How long had you had yours before they went? I really like them for running on the downs and if I could get them replaced that would be a weight of my wallet. (Is there a tight fisted smiley?)
Cheers - Raymond
Daz, are you sure those Flyrocs fit you right? your foot shouldnt be moving around in them. Anyway I think the Flyroc are more trail shoes, I've had some and didn't like them but I love the 290s and when its really muddy the 330s which have by far the best grip of anything I have ever worn, including Walshes.
Daz, have you tried the loop lock high lacing system on here?
perhaps i could get away with a half size less maybe but i just think they felt clumsy like.
i have a pair of 330s and im surprised you rate them for grip over walshs
mind you im a very neutral runner
makes me wonder about people wearing away the mesh and stuff.
walsh when there new i think are the best for grip
have found the mudclaws also clumsy but having said that i havnt tried the 290s yet .
