Help with running shoe


Anyone out there training or racing in Inov8s? I have been training in the Flyroc 310 and Terroc 330 for a while now. I love the shoes. Can really feel the trail and they are good in mud and on wet rock. My longest run in them has been a 30K. I just don't feel like they have enough cushioning to go any longer. Especially for the hard-pack that is common here in the Northeast. Has anyone been using one of the newer or different models that have better cushioning?

Thanks

Re: Help with running shoe
It's so hard to recommend shoes since everyone has such different feet. I was using Salomon trail runners, went through at least 6 pairs before realizing they were too heavy to run over 50K in so I now run ultras in regular Brooks Adrenaline. The one thing I found while working in the footwear department of REI and getting extensive training in shoe fit was the importance of after market insoles. Although they do help with cushioning, they are more for biomechanical purposes. Check out Superfeet
