Thanks for the tip re: Run4it.com

Got a pair of Saucony Fastwitch for less than £50 and were delivered within 24hrs with the free delivery.

Not sure if they're luminous enough though...

I went off Fastwitch when they lowered the heel-toe drop from v4 to v5. I PB'd a marathon in v4 but v5 gave me blisters on the arches during a HM. Reading up on these (v7) it seems that they're supposed to be more cushioned and flexible than "previous versions", but still with the same heel-toe drop. I'm tempted to give them another go, perhaps for shorter distance races initially, since they're a fair bit lighter than my Adios Boost. If they're softer, maybe they'll be closer to v4 again, and I can get used to the lower drop?

Where did you get these from, and have you had any experience of previous versions?

Interesting, well I run (road) pretty much exclusively in Kinvara's - These are same heel-toe drop and have more rubber coverage on the outsole* so figured I'd give them a go.

*The most wear to my Kinvara's outsole is to the outside edges of the forefoot, right where there's no bloody rubber!
