Inov-8 Mudclaw 265

[Rob Furness]

I would have though the sizing would be similar to previous Mudclaws. I take a 9.5 in Talons and a 9.5 in Mudclaw 285's so I would just order the same size as you take for Talons.

Just checking my 333s to be sure of the size - and find one is 9 and one is 9.5 - and yet they are exactly the same size in looks/feel! Was there was a bit of a mix up putting them back in the boxes after trying them on? - though I try to keep an eye out for that sort of thing.

I agree, I never tried mine on, got them from Pete Blands on the net. The sizing is at least as generous as other styles.

I might just have to go with that solution although I have always found I seem to take different sizes in different shoes. Its so long since I owned a pair of mudclaws I cant remember what size I had and my talons are a 9 but seem to remember them being more generous than the old 330 which I think was bigger. Hey ho take the plunge if theres nowhere to try them on I can always send the back.
Cheers

Only semi-relevant, but as of 2 weeks ago Up & Running in Headingley seemed to have a wide range of sizes in Mudclaw 300s (I tried all sizes between 6.5 and 8.5 ) and Alpine Outdoors in Hebden Bridge said they were expecting a delivery of inov8, don't know if it included 265s though.

Popped into Alpine and spoke to them they dont have any 265's but said they could get some in for me. I know Amy and just cant bring myself to ask her to go to the trouble knowing I wont be buying them from her due to costs.

Know what you mean, but aren't they about £80 pretty much everywhere?
It's a real shame that Sportsshoes don't have a shop any more - used to be a no brainer for me because prices were always competitive, plus the ability to try on.
Anyway, "up and running" got my business this time because they provided the means for me to try a few pairs on, so it seemed only fair. Which is not to say I won't be looking for online bargains next time, now I know what size I need :wink:

I love them so much I'm seriously considering doing the Lakeland 100 in them, at the risk of trashing them by the end.

Assuming mine survive my BG attempt next weekend, me too
