inov-8 Men's Mudclaw 300 Trail Running Shoe

Product Information

A Dual-C combination of medium sticky and hard sticky rubbers ensure the studs stay strong over time and continue to deliver. Firstly the studs will feel different but you’ll be glad for them, they’re going to grip and help stop you face planting. The multidirectional stud pattern ensures mud is released quickly from the outsole, so the studs are always able to deliver maximum grip with every step.

More cushioned and roomy than previous versions but lacks subsequently lacks the tight fitting capabilities of it’s older brothers. If you fancy a change from roads or trail you’re going to need to swap those road shoes for some full on fell shoes if you want to stay on your feet! If you're running on the moors this winter, ok they may be expensive, but seriously, I don't think there is a better shoe out there. The grip is functional and responsive with the pyramid shaped studs performing well on mud, rock and snow. Alternatively, you can measure the length of your foot and add between 1 and 2cm to find the correct insole length.If you have a wide foot, this is good news because you may now well be able to wear a shoe that you were not able to wear in the past. However, when I *do* slip, I have the absolute confidence that I will regain my balance and footing with these shoes, and that it is a momentary lapse, and probably on a surface that pretty much nothing will provide adherence to. Durability: A Dual-C combination of medium sticky and hard sticky rubbers ensure the studs stay strong over time and continue to deliver.

Beat the mud: The multi directional stud pattern ensures mud is released quickly from the outsole, so the studs are always able to deliver maximum grip with every step. The grip on muddy hills inspires a lot of confidence, in a situation where my Salomon trail shoes would start suffering a lot of wheelspin.

For a shoe that is designed to keep you secure on muddy trail, I was amazed at the security on wet and slick rock.

deep DUAL-C STICKY lugs spread in a multidirectional pattern gives you grip whether you are coming up or down hillside. However, the new Yellow 300's and the Red 265's have burst onto the scene and look pretty damn good. The most aggressive outsole in the inov-8 range boasts 8mm studs that deliver the best grip possible over muddy terrain.Drop is a personal thing but I am a firm believer that 6mm/ 8mm drop shoes provide a great middle ground and if you are running longer, a slightly higher drop is kinder on the calf and legs. Sit back and relax in the comfort we’ve put these garments and accessories through their paces, in the gym and on the mountains! Increased protection: The rand that wraps around the shoe's upper and toe bumper ensure outstanding protection against stones and other debris. As with climbing shoes, the grippy rubber is always the bit you want, and the bit you pay for, but the problem is the grippier rubber always wears out the fastest.

Yes micro spike/mini crampons would have made the icy sections easy, but outside of using something like a ArcticTalon with Tungsten Carbide tips, you’d be hard pushed to run up there without slipping and sliding. For a quick thrash around local trails, I’d be looking for something lighter, but for a big day out they are fine. and the compound feels very flexible when you run on harder surfaces- I wonder just how long the grip is going to last.We only use the information we collect about you lawfully, in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998. This is a Limited Edition Trail Center Version of this shoe, meaning you will not find this shoe in major highstreet/online retailers. Up to this point the furthest I’d run in the shoe was 5 miles at a time, so the 26ish mile route we would take would be a true test. In the case of a replacement KONG Running will pay for the post of the new item to be sent out and a refund will be issue for the cost of sending the item back.
