Steve Franklin was really helpful with a lots of detail and brilliant advises especially that one to try them on properly in a shop it is really a wise one , like that I bought a new Hoka Clifton 7 Wide , that all the reviews say that they are the best ever done , very soft upper like gloves , but for some reason they still feel narrow and they squeeze my big toe and hurting so much I had to stop and go back home . Well done both of you .
Regarding stability trail running shoes - choose one with a firm heel counter Kiger 6, Norvan LD2, Torrent 2 all work well for me. LD2 has a firm medial post too
Guy Greatorex is watching this video and laughing. Picking a trail shoe is simple for him. Question 1 - Is it an Inov-8? Question 2 - There is no Question 2.
There's a big hole in the top of your shoe. True enough! Lol Great video, especially explaining tread. Would the fell style tread be recommended for major rocky and or scree covered trails?
Food for thought! Many of my favorite trails have steep rock slabs, and long sections of steep loose scree, rocks, and small boulders. Actually, they kind of look like the videos of the Scotland skyraces! Probably why I'm determined to do one!
For really technical trails on rock it might be worth considering the durability and grip of the shoes material. Something like the irock or xtrm from vjsport sticks to rock in all weathers, even though the tred is quite aggressive.
@@philmoore97 I've never heard of VJSport, I'll check them out! Grip and comfort are definitely the most important to me, as I often wear trail runners during rock ledges, scrambles, etc. Don't want to slip!
I have been running trails for at least 35 years and this is the best 'basics' info for trail running shoes I have seen!
@@wildgingerruns I did respect his opinion more just for that.
Fantastic and insightful video claire! Great info from Steve too 👏

@adrian haha I love that! So, so true.

Yes, but I still prefer a low profile shoe like the Sense 8 HG for technical trails. Depends on how much scree you are talking about.
