    I suggest that instead of selling it you try and run barefoot - that will sort out the problems

    Hi Richard

    I've found a couple of companies that can resole any shoes with a fell sole (Walsh type studs) for £18. So I'm thinking that I might get my Kanadia out and get all the cushioning and sole unit chopped off and replaced with a fell sole. Might be a good compromise until Inov8 bring out a super light flexible foot glove

    I'm not so much into "barefoot" running but follow the Chi running style, midfoot strike, minimal neutral shoe, etc..I have found that the best fell shoe that fits that catagory for me is the Inov8 X-Talon and use Feelmax Panka's for, grass, trail, etc...

    The X-Talons have replaced my 315' & 305's which as somebody put earlier now feel like wearing clogs....

    X-Talons - brilliant!

    I tried it tonight and it has both positives and negatives.
    Positives are that you can feel everything and it definately will improve ankle strength.Negatives if the grass is slippy your toes dig in and that could lead to breakages

    The X-Talons without the footbed will give you a neutral shoe, minimal amount of cushioning, good proprioception.
    I do at least one run(jog) a week barefoot on grass to help strengthen my feet/ankles/calfs,i carry my X-Talons for when it gets rocky or thistles

    This is the best option for now until the "Ultimate bare foot racer"
