Anyone else have experience of racing flats and their longevity?
All I know is that Nike Mayfly were rated for just 100km bitd. #nohelpwhatsoever
Your comments sound about right for how I measure end of life in any of my trainers.
I think it might be time to retire my racing flats (Hyperions). You've got these, haven't you, @juanito? How old are yours?
I've just ticked over the 600k mark in them (not the one pictured), which was the arbitrary lifespan I gave them. Superficially they're not looking too shabby, even held up against a new pair I have on standby; but they fail certain tests:
Seeing as I have another pair, the sensible thing would be to try them out. No perceivable difference walking around indoors, but that counts for shit really.
