They look like strong completion for the Saucony Hattori shoes I've been using for the last couple of years. The 246 gm Hattoris suffer slightly from the wet footbed issue - I found a rub with a hand towel got rid of any dampness. But Saucony seem to have discontinued that range, so when the remarkably robust Hattoris wear out I'll be visiting the nearest Vivo stockist and shaving 50 grammes off my load.Phreerunnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08551842487502221703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7439013386414903935.post-25522425090824998302014-06-12T23:02:42.782+01:002014-06-12T23:02:42.782+01:00Good stuff Alan, they look the businessGood stuff Alan, they look the businessmarkswalkingbloghttp://markswalkingblog.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7439013386414903935.post-87845410405324053602014-06-11T19:23:19.597+01:002014-06-11T19:23:19.597+01:00That sounds great Dawn.

Both Sheila and I have now purchased a pair. eBay new, £30 and £25 respectively.

I actually wore them for two stretches of 6-10 km on a couple of the early wet days. I'd popped them on to cross a stream in a particularly boggy area, and they were so comfortable that I just left them on. So much easier just wading through the wet area than picking your way through it in the vein hope of keeping boots dry. And when you're done, a quick flick dries them off instantly. They grip extremely well on rock too for river crossings. Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16298215339426733968noreply@blogger.com
