In reply people suggesting Inov8
> Inov8 standard fit, select flavour of shoe as required.
Unless the standard fit has changed in the last few years (which it might well have done) then I'm not too sure this is true? Are standard fit genuinely wide (i.e. 2E or whatever the wide NB option is) or just a bit wider than their "performance" fit?
Ultra 290 look too built up to be a Wave Harrier replacement? Are they really ok on properly rocky trails?
I know that answer to most of these question is "go and find some to try on" but it's remarkably difficult finding anywhere with decent range, particularly in size 12.
