Hi all,
need help from fellow peak district runners on a shoe choice,
specifically for autumn - Spring Pennine way type terrain like the climb up to from Crowden to Blackhill and then the run down to Isle of Sky rd, wet greasy stone flags bits of bog and rock but not real off path stuff.
I get on well with Innov8 stuff ( I use Xtalon Ultras for off path, and parkclaws for road / park stuff). I have a pair of Speedgoats that are on their last legs and need replacing, and was considering Roclites G275, and was wondering if anyone has any experience with them on the above terrain? I know the amazing Jasmin Paris wore a single pair for her record breaking spine race. But I’m sure she could have done it in her slippers!😂.
the Pakclaws I have also have a graphing grip and I have noticed that on wet pavement flags they can be abit slippy sometimes so it didn’t fill me full of confidence on the grip on that kind of rock if the Roclites are the same.
also the lack of a rock plate and the cushioning on the Speedgoats has made me want to look at something abit more precise and less cushioned, hence the look at Roclites, I am happy with the fit of them it is just the grip I am concerned about.
any help or other suggestions greatly received.
thanks Ryan
