I’ve got a pair of the Ronhill tracksuit bottoms. Foot loops, white piped seems, makes me feel like an PE teacher from the 80s and they were only £20. Perfect for when it’s muddy and cold!
Great shoe that have definitely been designed for the mountains, not "trails" had mine for about a month now they need a few decent days in the fells to warm them up, grip is quality on wet limestone, mud and wet grass, not mega cushioned but neither are a single pair of inoshites! These are class on sharp rock bounce around on them without eyes watering. Laces need improvement as come undone easily. Over all class mountain shoes that I've used in every condition in the past month. Hope they take off
@marccastle8249 ha ha ha naa I've had them 3 weeks and they've not dropped to bits yet so can't be inoshite lol, yeah I can see why you thought no in the shop, once been wet and sofened up feel great on the mountains, I'd not want to be doing low level trail paths in them though definitely not made for that.
Still buying the tracksters, got 3 pairs,very versatile....parkrun at East Grinstead and then had a coffee in Gatwick Airport with the family on a stop over 😊
Checking these out next week. Look perfect for the Lakes. Ron hill make some great clothing, the tech range is really good and the hilly socks are great. Very underrated and I guess not as popular as inov8, Salomon, etc
I think they did John but I’m not sure the brand was taking it that seriously back then like they are now 👍 Hope you’re fit and well, thanks for watching 🙏
After watching your spectacular video, I can't imagine running on pavement. The two things I like about this shoe are the deep luggage of the out soles and the Matrix fabric uppers. Thanx for the video my Running Brother 👍 ⚔️ ✝️ 🇺🇲
Looks promising - long distance fell shoe maybe rather than a trail shoe? I’m a big fan of the Michelin rubber that vivobarefoot use for their ESC shoes so should be good
Very interesting shoe. I really like the outsole and grip and don't mind it being a bit on the heavy side. Thats a price I gladly pay for a good grip. They look like a good shoe for orienteering running in the winter season. How will you compare the midsole up against the new MudTalon?
@run4adventure when you say true to size... Is that true to the foot or true to size with other brands. Eg I'm a 10.5 in shoes and 11.5/12 in trail /fell shoes. Thanks for a well put together 1st look 👍
these look good. i am looking for a good all rounder for the UK chase running ( like shown in this video lol ) that can tackle mud of autumn, firm trail ground and the loose stuff. i am looking at the speedcross 6, hoka speed goat 5, but not keen on the styling of those hoka goats and prefer the looks of the Agility peak 5, so maybe they are an option or MTL Long Sky 2 ? i want them to be light and fast as well though. only for for 5k to 10k runs, please help with ideas?
Great to see the brand doong this but to my eyes they look a bit naff. Definitely look more like fell shoes but i know nothing about fell running to know of the stack height suits that. Also they seem very heavy but again maybe that means super durable and maybe thats what you do with fell shoes. Good luck to them but these are not for me
Didn’t mention the thing that’s most interesting to me - the foot shaped last that they’re built on. As someone with fairly narrow, but very ‘foot shaped’ feet this is intriguing. Obviously this is a direction that Inov8 have taken recently too.
To be honest I didn’t mention it because they aren’t really foot shaped? It fits like a standard shoe, where as the new Inov8’s are definitely foot shaped 👍
It’s actually not the first Ron Hill running shoe or even Ron Hill trail Shoe. I had a pair of Ron Hill ‘Rivington pikes’ fell Shoe in the 80s when Walsh’s or the Rivington Pikes were the only trail/fell shoe choices in the market. They were a bright slime green and yellow colour
The Ronhill shoe is nothing like Salomons S/Lab Sense 6 SG. It’s a lot heavier and stiffer in the midsole. The Salomon S/Lab Pulsar 3 that I just tested is a lot more like the Sense 6 SG 👍🙂
Interesting, i actually wear quite a bit of Ronhill clothing. It's a bit overpriced now but very comfy. Im on the lookout for new trail trainers. What would you recommend ? Hokaspeed goat 5 ?
I love my Speedgoat 4 and 5s. They are great road to trail. Always gave me a lot of confidence. Just check the fit. The upper on the 5s stretches over time.
Ronhill clothing over priced? I’ve always thought it’s good value for the quality. Trail shoes are such a personal thing, obviously the Hoka Speedgoat 5’s are a deeply cushioned trail shoe and not everyone wants that 👍
@Run4Adventure The reason I think it's overpriced is that it doesn't last long, but I still buy the brand for the material they use, saying that lately I've turned to Craft. These Ronhill trainers look OK to be honest, I do love Sacouny Peregrine so might just stick to them. Cheers Lloyd.
@@Run4Adventure that's good to hear. I think it just comes down to each individual brand and how well they design and develop around the strengths and limitations of the material. It's amazing this little brand has been able to offer a Matryx fabric at such an approachable price point.
