“I'm normally an Altra wearer but I became frustrated with Altra's lack of true grippy studded soles. These X-Talon Ultra 260 have a roomier toe box compared to regular X-Talon and Mudclaw. The 8mm drop is a bit high for me, but I can cope. These are great, I do love the feel of Inov-8s. Awesome for fell running and general cross country with mixed terrain.”
