    Re: Mizuno Wave Harrier 2

    I'm after some new trail shoes. I've been using Asics Gel Canyons, I'm sure they were discontiniud about 5 years ago when I stocked up in the clearance sales but my last pair is well overdue for replacement.

    I'm going to primarily use them for LDWA events so would like some comfort but I still like fairly lightweight shoes. I'll stick with my Walshes for fell running so I don't need huge grip on steep ground.

    I won't touch Inov8's after bad experiences, is the Wave Harrier likely to suit?

    Not tried Canyons but have had several Asics trail shoes that suited my shape of foot and the Wave Harriers also suit- so I would guess yes.

    Tried them out today, they were rubbing on the instep after about 3 miles. Two blisters, one quite big on the instep where the stitching is on the inside. Never had any blisters with the previous ones (blue and red).

    I have used Nike Trail shoes for while but these new ones are excellent had hem 5 days and done two runs on trails and hills. First run was 11.2 mile second run 13.4 mile and no blisters or anything they have to be the most comfy trall shoes I have worn and I think I will gve them a try on the fells.

    Shop around if buying as I bought from Amazon and they forwarded the order to Simply run and saved about £12 arrived within 2 days.

    Bl**dy comfy shoe this. My oldest pair (blue v1) are splitting on the tops - I keep checking as the tear is almost right across the toes.... Recently wore them on the fells and they made mincemeat out of my toes on really rocky descents so not the best for this sort of terrain.

    Have a brand new pair (red v2) in the box that I'm waiting to try out asap.

    The new ones look a bit flash - you have to be good to run in them!

    Had a (red v2) pair for a year now, comfy as slippers, and still going strong, done more miles in them than any other trainers

    However, i'm not good, so the new ones are out, highlanders now.
