I never got on with my 285's . They kept sliding off my heel on the up hill bits . ( funny shaped heels probably )

I've just done another , slightly longer , bare foot session . 20 min warm up in field . I still felt all the little stones ,but , slightly less this time . I then donned a pair of 230's and did 6 times 15 second sprints .
I bought the 230's last year . Although they fitted really well I found them not to have enough cushioning at the time . Since reading this thread and trying to improve my midstrike foot placing I now think there will be a place for them once My legs have got used to the new style .

I'm running the village fun run http://www.funrun.hinstock.com/ on Sunday and I'll have the dilemma of which shoes (if any) to ware . Difficult as I don't really run on roads .
