I'm the same as galpinos, X-Talons and Mudclaws in precision, although I thought I had wide feet! X-Talons and Mudclaws seem pretty consistently sized, but Roclites were quite different (and also narrower than precision fit). I think the orange/blue version of the X-Talon 200 is the standard fit one - not tried them myself but that's what my other half races in.
Some good Inov-8 shoe bargains on Wiggle at the minute - Mudclaws and X-Talons for £50ish, all Autumn/Winter 2016 models.
So, designs on 2017. Have many of you been busy populating the wall planner?
I'm doing Trigger this year too ajh, am not looking forward to it either as woefully underprepared but working on the assumption that I know the lines and I'm stubborn enough to drag myself round.

I'm doing the Trigger too, not done more than 10K in quite a while and don't know any of the lines, so should be interesting.... Planning on sticking to the back of a dark peaker and having my map and compass to hand.

Don't know what you made of the conditions but it's the worst I've seen it on the tops there, cold, icy bogs and sketchy river crossings. Ended up dropping out at Kinder Top as carrying on would have made me suffer more than I'm prepared to.

Ended up dropping out at Kinder Top as carrying on would have made me suffer more than I'm prepared to. It was my first DNF too. I was enjoying the race up until Crowden and then started cramping going up the edge after Crowden and I kept thinking of turning back but thought I could stetch it out, turns out I couldn't. By the time I got to snake pass I was cramping in both thighs and calves and struggling to walk so thought it was best to drop out. I think most people were saying it's the worse conditions they have seen it. I'm glad I packed a proper jumper in my bag as I needed it to get to snake pass.
Trigger results are up;http://www.marsdentoedale.co.uk/Results.htm34 DNF's and 6 DQ's, all apparently for running down the road at the end from Jacob's ladder. Feels a bit harsh given the conditions and especially as they let other results stand of runners who missed one or two CP's.

Also, Jasmin Paris won the women's race.
