[#1741166]

Just found that my beloved Trail 110 shoes have started to fall apart after three years of use, think the WRT was the beginning of the end.

No problem, I'll just get some more, didn't even cross my mind that they wouldn't be available anymore....

So, I like the style and the ankle protection (I'm clumsy and fall off), what else is there that might fit the bill?

Pretty sure Leisure lakes still have them, for only £50 I think. Maybe not your size though. What about shaman am 30 or 50?

Yeah the ones @ LL are too small unfortunately, always prefered Spec shoes but they don't seem to make anything like the trail any more. Seems to be longevity questions about the AM 50s...

I too liked my 110's, well until about 6 weeks in and the sole snapped

The problem with the Shimano AM31's (and older 30's and 50's) is that shimano's come up about a size smaller than specialized and as my 48 specialized are about tight enough (with sealskinz) I can't really go smaller

Currently on my second* warranty pair of spesh experts (evans had no more 110s in)
*cleat mounting plate fell out of the snapped sole after just over a year, the cleats can't dig into the carbon sole, so it gradually chips/flakes away until eventual failure

I had some sports before all those, and guess what, the (plastic, like 110s) sole also snapped (but out of warranty)

I think the boots are still available in the states if you really want the same again.
