Brilliant review, Loyd-thank you. Disappointed with the ride; it’s nearly unrunable on hard and rocky terrain without the Boomerang. The upper is soft but lacks lockdown. Still love the G270!

Thanks for another detailed review. I have ran in many pairs of Inov8s over the years but was not a fan of G300 Max. Mine in a UK size 11 were over 400 grams, and i felt it. I will leave these and may go for Xodus Ultra instead.

The Trailfly ultra 300 is the first trail shoe (after many many attempts) that I finally feel comfortable in for the long distances. Im guessing this latest release now means I have to buy up a few 300gs before they are all gone and forgotten. I don’t like change and change in the trail shoe industry is rapid.

Ok so forget the shoe review! What’s your favourite horror movie 😱 Seriously! good review mate for all the shoes I’ve bought over the years it’s the toe box width for me it doesn’t matter what materials have been used the latest new plates, midsole etc if it’s rubbing your toes then it’s 💩unfortunately that’s the downside of buying online! PS are you going to review the Kjerag& Tomir shoes.Keep the good reviews coming Loyd .

Hi Loyd, could you help, due to my injury, I met with an amazing podiatrist today and she wants me to change my road trainers to some that don’t have the flared soles at the back or sides. I currently use Nike Invincible so asked about Nike Pegasus instead as I’ve used them a lot but she said they are still too flared at the heel. Any recommendations ? Thanks so much.

@wanderer6688
Жыл бұрын
@@Run4Adventure she feels having the flared heel and sides alters the way I land and pushes the landing area more forward and is exasperating the issue I am having in my foot. Looking at my used Nike Invincible trainers the wear pattern was further forward on the initial foot strike than on older Pegasus trainers and on the pressure plate testing. Changing the trainers is only part of the fix, I also have foot muscle exercises to do. It’s part of an ongoing issue in the 5th metatarsal area.

Yes that would be interesting as I was looking at the Xodus ultra as a road to trail option recently and inov8’s but went for Hoka challenger 6 instead due to being on offer at half the price…. Although wouldn’t recommend them if it’s trail side more as grip is terrible in wet!

anther great info vid Mr Lloyd - thank you. I own the 260 (for them really muddy trails and the 270 for Trails with a bit of mud but mainly gravel/wooded areas. Just came back from the Lakes and used the 270 for the whole week, loved them, great grip but I am not a big fan of the tong (too thin for me) 280 much different from 270 ?
