thanks - I just did 5 miles in a colleague's kinvaras (44.5s). Pretty happy with them, felt comfortable for two 6min/mile miles and cushioned enough for a slow recovery mile between. I'll likely just get myself a new pair of these - can get them for £65 it seems
The fastwitchs look very like the hitogamis - race shoe with a little cushioning!

I currently have the saucony swerve for my long stuff, it's soft but very comfy and seems to offer some good feedback, despite being quite 'entry level'. Seem softer than my wave riders I had before but not overly so, I've always preferred harder shoes. Never ran in hokas so not sure how soft it is in comparison though. I'd second the fastwitch being a race only shoe, mine are very hard, wouldn't want to wear them much over 10k.

I have a new pair of UK9 (EU44) and used* pair of UK9.5 (EU45) Kinvaras I'd be happy to sell if you don't want to splash out on the stupid RRP.
