I know, they didn't go far because most of my training was on farmland paths or tracks at the time in a pair of trail shoes. But having said that other people have mentioned the shoes falling apart after tens of miles only so by comparison that is lasting well...Originally Posted by david
How can you call that lasting well? If you never wear them then of course they'll last well.
That figure is a low estimate to be fair, it included 2 KIMMs, 3 LAMMs, and the training for them plus quite a lot of scrambling. And I do get lost quite a lot
Before I swapped over from Walshes I had a pair of PBs that fell apart after less than a hundred miles, uppers rather than the soles, and the new last turned my heels in to chile con carne...
I thought it was reasonable for someone who has had reasonable longevity from their inov8s to contribute to the threadin the interests of balance. I think my style (or lack of it) probably is easy on my shoes compared to many others on here - it certainly not like I'm a 6ft, 50kg whippet. I have been compared more to a fat labrador with a fondness for warm fires and puddings
