Does anyone know where I can find a pair of Inov-8 X-talon 190 shoes in UK size 9, precision fit? Inov-8 have apparently stopped making them and the replacement models are either low stack (good) and standard fit (bad) OR high stack (bad) and precision fit (good).
Also while we are on 'legacy' kit... does anyone have experience between the old (2016) Salomon S-LAB ADVANCED SKIN 3 12 SET, VS the S-LAB ADVANCED SKIN 3 5 SET? My current running pack is 5 litres so moving up from 5l to 12l seems excessive but then again the 12l pack looks pretty lightweight and slimline and the addition of zips seems appealing. Again, Salomon have updated these packs with (IMO retrograde) new models... I can't find any physical shops that still have them to look at and compare.
