For me, with Roman feet, the toebox shape is an absolute NO.

@weuek 18 күн бұрын

I got interested in Inov-8 shoes when they improved the shape of the toebox. The Trailfly is my first shoe from them. Now it's my hardest and heaviest trail shoe in my rotation (the rubber weighs a tonne!). I think its weakest point is the midsole-dull EVA, very stiff. If it wasn't for the poor midsole, the shoe would be really good, as the outsole is amazing on soft surface. The upper does not get soaked with dirt and is perfectly designed for the wet stuff on dirt roads and trails. Another thing is the drop (too high for me), but I had known that before I bought them. All in all, not suitable for longer efforts (21k+) because of the midsole. My shoes were manufactured in August 2024 and the midsole side is not painted. Additionally, there's a minor aesthetic change to the toe bumper look.

What was your electrolyte plan? If you were relying on aid station Tailwind, you may not have been getting enough electrolyes. Once your electrolyte balance tips over the edge, your gut won't be able to absorb water which it will just swill about in your belly, making you very nauseous. Might be worth experimenting with electrolyte intake?

@@nigelb1851 It was the same as normal. I always carry my own electrolyte tablets and Tailwind sachets, I think the aid station stuff is always too watery. It was a bizarre situation, never had a problem before. New challenge to resolve.

Great video, I know the Tomir 2 are on the market but I found a really good deal on the Tomir 1, I've had the Saucony Xodus ultra version 1, I know the Tomir are firmer but is there too much of a difference in cushioning between the Xodus and the Tomir? Or is it a type of cushioning that a Xodus Ultra 1 user can get used to?

@robsbeenrunning 2 ай бұрын

Hi Said, Yes there is quite a bit of difference in the cushioning between the Xodus 1 and the Tomir 1. You would notice it on very long runs for sure. The Tomir 1 is not uncomfortable at all, but it is a lot firmer, it is just a different style of cushioning. Both shoes do a good job of protecting your foot from stones and rocks, just just do it differently. I still prefer the Xodus 1 cushioning for myself. Thanks for watching. 👍

@saidpuentes968 2 ай бұрын

@@robsbeenrunning Thanks for the reply Rob, I have the Salomon Sense Ride 4 which have a firm cushioning feel, I put the Xodus insoles in them and they gave me a bit more comfort for long distance, do you think if I put the Xodus insoles in the Tomir the perception of comfort would improve? Or do you think there would be no change in the feeling of comfort even with a Pwrrun+ insole?

@robsbeenrunning 2 ай бұрын

@@saidpuentes968 Hi Said, the insoles in the Tomir 1 are not removeable, so if you put the insoles of the Xodus 1 into that shoe you would end up with 2 insoles, so I am not sure how that would work. My advice would be to get hold of a pair of the Tomir 1 and try them indoors on a hard floor, just in case you need to send them back. It's hard to say if they will be too firm for you or not, you would just need to try them. Thanks Rob

@@victorystone1984 Yes, it's hard to keep up with the changes in shoe technology, the manufacturers seem to go from firm to soft to firm cushioning over the course of a few years.
