+1 from me. Great value shoe which inspires confidence and I would probably race in 'em except they are a bit too thick in the midsole...I like more feel when I race. Perfect for training runs though.

Ordered some last night for £39.99 (+£4 postage).
They will hopefully be perfect for what I'm getting them for - a replacement for some training shoes for hard-packed trails. Have some lighter Inov8s for any trail races I do.
Got to say my Inov8 Roclite 305s that I've used so far have been great, but are coming to the end of their days.
Forget the Kanadias and go for the Adizero XT3`s... they offer better grip in the mud, better feel on hard terrain, lighter, more responsive and lower to the ground...
Yeah, but are they the same bargain price??Originally Posted by Roland
My Kanadia TR3`s were £38 and XT3`s were £45...
The Kanadias arrived today. Amazing speed from Sports Direct. Only went for standard delivery and it came the next day!
Unfortunately, I'm a size 11 in normal shoes and the 12 was too small on the length so will have to start again. Had the same problem with Walshes. Might look at NB or even have to go back to Inov8! Will start saving!
Had a look at the adizero, by the way, and they do look good. But can't find them for less than £69.

I have run 3P's and a load of LDWA races in my Kanadia's and they were perfect for runs with a mix of trail, road and fell. Grip on rocks and mud is not too bad either, but if I'm entirely on fell I still used my Walshes.
They have finally started falling apart after 2 years and have switched to a New Balance trail shoe, which is not quite as good.
Hm. I'm doing a 3P training run this weekend, I might brush the dust off my Kanadias and give 'em a go.
Shame about the fit, L.F.F. There's now't so funny as folk, except feet! I'm a 9.5 in length but broad with it so I always go for a size 10 in trainers. I get a size 10 Kanadia's and they fit my feet perfect. Ditto the cost of the Adizero, cannot find them cheaper than £69 (even found them retailing at £131 !). Is there a Sports Direct store near you? There's one in Keighley which is fairly local to me and they have them on the shelf to try on.
Yep, there's a Sports Direct near me so might pop in. Shame the cheaper shoes seem to come quite small!
Am now thinking of relegating my Roclite 285s to my general running shoe and getting some F Lite 230s as racing shoes as they seem good.
All very confusing! Not least because you don't know what size to go for. I even wear different sizes in different Inov8s!
