Imagine binning old saggy shoes with worn down studs for new tight fitting beauties with aggressive, defined studs – oh bliss, they stick to the ground. From time to time carriers may deliver earlier or later, or on non working days however this is cannot be guaranteed nor should it be expected.

Sit back and relax in the comfort we’ve put these garments and accessories through their paces, in the gym and on the mountains! Having witnessed countless runners the year before take on the course in Mudclaw and X-Talon, it was the logical choice.Drop is a personal thing but I am a firm believer that 6mm/ 8mm drop shoes provide a great middle ground and if you are running longer, a slightly higher drop is kinder on the calf and legs. If you have the previous version of the ‘300’ in yellow and black, don’t be fooled into thinking this is the same shoe. Beat the mud: The multi directional stud pattern ensures mud is released quickly from the outsole, so the studs are always able to deliver maximum grip with every step. The added cushioning was superb when running longer or when getting off soft ground and on to harder trails.

It’s a pretty cool system actually as you can see at a glance, based on weight, if a shoe may or may not be suitable for you. In the case of a replacement KONG Running will pay for the post of the new item to be sent out and a refund will be issue for the cost of sending the item back. A light and comfortable shoe, dries quickly after getting wet and will get you out of trouble when you most need it! Alternatively, you can measure the length of your foot and add between 1 and 2cm to find the correct insole length.

The grip on muddy hills inspires a lot of confidence, in a situation where my Salomon trail shoes would start suffering a lot of wheelspin. Forget road or trail shoes, in the peak of winter you’re going to need something with heaps more grip, oh, and don’t forget responsive and light – we can recommend a pair of mudclaw 300’s! It’s not a light mesh equivalent of the Trail Talon 275, but in winter the added substance works well. We stretch our legs on roads, trail and especially fell – you’ll find us running in Mayfair and the mountains!

Durability: A Dual-C combination of medium sticky and hard sticky rubbers ensure the studs stay strong over time and continue to deliver.These items include but are not limited to; harness, ropes, belay equipment, karabiners, helmets, climbing protection. At the front of the shoe, just behind where the toes would sit is a clearing in the sole with a META-FLEX™ this allows the shoe to bend without restriction when running. They’re a one trick pony for the nastiest type of British weather- but they do what they do wonderfully. and the compound feels very flexible when you run on harder surfaces- I wonder just how long the grip is going to last.
