I like the shape of the Altras but I still find them a bit stiff for my liking.

Thanks!

Nate – do you have any of the Inov-8 Road-X shoes? They are on a different last than some of the other Inov-8s – much roomier from what I hear. I’d say they are comparable to the MT101, maybe just a tad less space.

I hadn’t considered the Vivobarefoot Neo Trail so thanks for mentioning it.  I’ve looked it up and it’s available now which is good, and looks likely to accommodate my wide feet too. 

I don’t think it’ll be up to handling the more aggressive off trail running such as fell races that I do occasionally, but then I kinda doubt the MT110 will be up to this either.   Still my trusty go anywhere Roclite’s aren’t worn out yet so I can always fallback on these until Inov-8 come up with a all-round trail shoe with an anatomical last.

Very nice.

Thanks! Can’t wait to try them out!

My only complaints with 101’s are the too soft heel cup which is really meant for rough trails (I like shoes underneath my feet not next to them when running) and design problem with euro sole. 110’s seem to have the 101’s euro sole but it seems every diamond shaped stud Is single piece of rubber and not like it was with euro 101’s which have some studs made with two pieces of rubber vulcanised together (black on top and grey in the bottom). Idiotic design decision if you ask me since you can easily get those parts separated and due to this the shoe can wear down quickly. However, the euro sole has awesome grip so the new and improved should be excellent.

He’s comparing it to the Instinct because that is what he has used in his other recent Ultras. I agree, but the Lone Peak as yet does not exist on store shelves. Better existing comparison would be something like the Saucony Peregrine.

I believe stack height is midsole + outsole, and thus adding the sockliner would give the measurements that were reported in the post.

Well, there is a slant in my pair unfortunately. It’s more pronounced in right shoe. Makes me think about getting Merrell Mix Master.

I have taken a total of 10 lugs off of the lateral side of my left 110, and about 6 off the right shoe. About 60 miles into these and I like them a lot, but the initial break in period left me very frustrated indeed. I just wish the freaking soles of these were flat right out of the box, and that I hadn’t needed to do so much surgery on them. I do agree, NB did kinda screw the pooch on the design of the platform on these.

Thanks for the extra details Nate.  Which Inov8’s do you have? 

I have Roclite 295’s which is based on Invo8’s Endurance Last which has plenty room in the toe box, more room than my 101’s which cramp by big toe.  I also have the Invov-8 Road-X which have more horizontal width than the 295’s, and the region around the big toe is straighter it accommodates the big toe very well.
