So the F is more flexible than the S? Does that observation include even the S 3's? I have been using the S 3 for about 9 month now together with ortopedic pronation insoles to decrease ITB pains and I think these shoes have performed outstanding so far. The textile insole behind te heel always gets torned in my running shoes, and so did these. I would recommend to quickly get some protective mtrl there directly after purchase, perhaps leather will work? These shoes is lower than average running shoes and it takes some time to get used to. After that you will probaply run faster in forest trails than on hard roads :-) The grip is good at winter time but a little to hard on frozen ground regardless of road/trail type. Great for mud and slippery trail runs and races and a huge avantage compared to runners stubbornly using regular asics shoes. They are also light and it feels as if you have control when at technical trails. I also often got the laces far to tight but it is an easy fix. I do hope the midsole in the F can withstand more miles than the S 3, since I pronate slightly.Swedendurancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11253979470163804011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1137426372151737908.post-65893161460047080242012-07-17T12:59:36.041-07:002012-07-17T12:59:36.041-07:00Interesting review since I've been thinking ab...Interesting review since I've been thinking about upgrading my worned out Speedcross 3 (S) to the Fellcross (F) shoes.

These are beasts compared to the minimus trails, but I will need it for running in the snow. <br /><br />I noticed they were really toasty, I had to take them off mid run during 55-60 degree weather. and switch to the minimus' How did you handle them in the summertime?

I picked up a pair of Inov8 288 gtx. and i don't think they are for me. they have a high ankle which is nice to keep the snow out, but these things are heavy and tall, there's no way i'll run in these. i think they'd be fine for just slow hiking or walking through the snow, but i'm about to put them back in the box, return them and get the fellcrosses. thanks for the review!rob watermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13602980084370635636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1137426372151737908.post-21994123535895660212011-09-14T10:58:43.079-07:002011-09-14T10:58:43.079-07:00r08 I recently ran an incredibly muddy Woodstock 5...r08 I recently ran an incredibly muddy Woodstock 50 mile - pictures coming soon - and while my MT101s filled up with sludge, barely anything penetrated the Fellcross after putting them on after 33 miles. I would hesitate to call this shoe minimal as it does weigh 10 + oz and has cushion, but runningwarehouse claims they have a 4mm drop.

I've been wearing my NB minimus trails nonstop all year, after wearing out my new balance 790's after 5 years of heavy use. ( I tend to wear my minimal shoes for everything, casually all day, then races, and training) <br /><br />I just plan to use these during the winter, to keep the light snow/rain out, (my minimus's get soaking wet even in the lightest rain, after doing some research, i've learned i need to get some wool socks to shed the water.) <br /><br />anyways, great site, i'll have to read up more on it, I'm pretty much sold on these fellcrosses. Have you tried the speedcross 3? i like the price, and they way those look better, but after wearing minimalist shoes (the minimus and I chopped the heel off my 790's way back when) i think i'll regret having the extra height in the heel)<br /><br />How do you get the runblogger discount. Do I need to be an author?rob watermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13602980084370635636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1137426372151737908.post-61492160767489271442011-08-24T09:31:48.158-07:002011-08-24T09:31:48.158-07:00Sean Id love to hear what you think of the Fellcro...Sean Id love to hear what you think of the Fellcross.

So, I just ordered the Fellcross, which I have been eyeing for a while, but sold by your great review. I'm hoping to break them in for use in the Stump Jump 50k, and will give you my review if you want it. <br /><br />Thanks!<br />SeanSean Moreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12048756129686781213noreply@blogger.com
