New Shoe designs suck. I had a kanadia tr 2, great looking, comfortable, light shoes.

Lower drop, more flexible, less support, softer rubber sole on the Talons. There's a review of the 190s on my channel. If you're used to barefoot shoes, go X-Talon, if you're after a bit more support, go Mudclaw. Mudclaw offers slightly better grip in the really muddy sections, X-Talon gives slightly better grip on wooden/concrete obstacles. Hope that helps. Enjoy Spartan!

Thank you for the response!! Glad I went with the Mudclaw because I'm used to more support. I'm excited to break em in!

x-talon has 8 mm lugs, the mudclaw's are 10 mm.

+Rizal Adin Can't go far wrong with the MudClaw, depends on your ability and how much barefoot type running you've done.

So I realize you asked this question 2 years ago, but just in case you have not tried the mudclaw 300 yet, I would like to provide an answer. When I train I look for a lightweight maximal cushioned shoe that saves my joints so I use the HOKA SPEED GOAT 2. Come race day when I do Spartan Ultra Beast's, I am not looking too much into cushioning as I am a shoe that grips very well and drains water very easily so I am not carrying extra water weight, in this case I will use the MUDCLAW 300. Summary: HOKA=Training, MUDCLAW=Race day for obstacle course racing that is.

+Red Rum dude, sorry for the late reply. You can get these in precision fit only. Toebox is generally fairly wide in my experience. (I have quite wide feet, Salomon toeboxes are too narrow and shallow for me). Forefoot is also fine for me. 200 is heavier and a little more hard wearing. 200 was apparently designed more with OCR in mine, but to me for shorter races (Say 10km and less) the 190 is still better. It drains better, lighter and more flexible.

Were you running Jo? Awesome event. I shall be back at the December one! #ocrlife

Yes i ran with my dog

Im back for the womens only in jan :-)

Hmm, I think I'll struggle to get entry into the January one! :P

Thanks for the share.

Of course, got to get them in. Looking at my next event already! #ocrlife

Cool vid. And I'm kicking like a good 'un on the bag drop. Haha.

Good job, what was your time??

OCR Life 50:49 I think - somewhere around there.

James Dunmore Awesome time. I was 62:40 something. Any ideas when the results are out?

OCR Life results are on the website now. Only times though so you'll have to trawl through to work out it. Ignore any times outside wave 1 (either skipped obstacles or skipped course, impossible to be quicker than first 20-30 people in wave 1).
