It’s more the fact that my ankles are the skinniest, weakest ankles in Aberystwyth and that I run on just one tiny little part of the front of my foot… If you look at my running shoes I literally wear out just 1½ rubber knobbles on the outside edge of each foot and nothing else. The rest of the sole looks as though it has just come out of the factory…. 1½ little ‘knobbles’ is never going to provide any traction.

I hope you partially enjoyed the steep slippery down hills. I use a pair of Salamon speedcross 3 for that kind of terrain and the grip is amazing. Full sprint on those single track down hills is a great feeling, 😀 get well soon

Sorry my fault 🙁
