Inov-8 Mudclaw 265

[Stagger]

So are these an upgrade of the 270/272? My 272s are on their last legs and I need a new pair. At the moment, I can only get the 300s (which I seem to remember were supposedly replacing the 330s and 272s). So do I now wait for these to come out or get the 300s? Decisions, decisions.........

My old grey 270's have been for race use only are these the answer? So its taken about 5 years to in circles to lose 5 grams and level the laces.

Well done inov-8, why not just read the forum in future?

PS the 190's have been great for racing in summer and the Walsh's when I needed the full grip on wet days.

Who has them on sale and how much are they???

I think Pete Bland have them on pre order. I think they're about £85. You'd think if it's a lighter shoe it should cost less, after all you are getting less shoe for your money:wink:

...you could get 3 pairs of Cheviot Mk2s for that

You can pre-order on Wiggle for £81 - saying "early March"

First run in mine this morning.. felt good, noticeably lighter, more flexible and in touch with the ground than the 300's... uppers appear to be very similar construction which, considering my 300's are still going strong knocking on 500 miles, is a good sign for durability.. will keep you posted.

My 300's have almost done 700 miles now and, with next weekend's fellsman kit and shoe check in mind, I ordered another pair from Pete Bland. They just this morning rang me to say they won't have my size in 300's until 6th May.... so I now have a pair of 265's winging my way . Red knocks spots off of yellow

The 265s are very good. They are square across the heel so feel nice and secure, along with a low heel drop. Only had a short run in them, but they are the best inov8 fell shoes I have ever bought. Expensive but feel well put together and if they wear well, probably worth the high purchase price.

This is the shoe I have waited for love the xtalons but miss the mudclaw grip so this should be the answer, plus there is less drop on these than the xtalons. I already know that I want to buy them from Sportsshoes but this is online only now, I therefore need to try a pair on and then go and by them online but where to do this. Does anyone know which outlet actually physically has them in stock in the west yorks area please.
