Do they have 3 different sole patterns?
Do they have different rubber compounds?
Do they offer different levels of cushioning?

Do they offer 10 models of "Trail" shoes that can and are used by fellrunners?

Just because you and I are fellrunners it doesn't mean other runners shouldn't benefit from inov-8's fit, grip etc.

As a footnote I was involved with ETA the specialist fellrunning brand, we had 2 specific fell shoes & 2 trail. Unfortunately even though they specialised the fellrunning Market alone was not big enough to support them and it folded.
Why do you think the likes of your favourite brand only have one shoe?
And why do you think that their sponsored runners choose inov-8 come race day?
Fair does, i do see your point however do you want to know a brand that does do more pure fell shoes than you at the moment...Walsh. The only inov8 shoes i consider to be fell worthy- Lakes, Scotland, Wales etc are Talons, Mudroc 290s (shame you got rid of the 280s), Mudclaw 270's and 330's. Other than the 190s i dont see any other new fell shoes making it onto the market from Inov8 and it would be nice to see some more...think Talon upper with a mudclaw sole.

As for my favourite brand Inov8 all the way despite bitter disappointment at some aspects of the service
