Ryan,

Why did you pick the Inov8 – 330 over say the 310?

[Ryan Faulkner]

I liked the tread on the 330s over the 310s. there isnt much difference in weight though, only 20 grams/0.7oz

you can get the terrocs and flyrocs at REI. where can you buy the f-lite 250s I dont plan on using these for backpacking, but cross country

[Bill Fornshell]

Hi Ryan, When I thought about the 310’s it was to use them in some possible snow. I thought the 310’s looked like they might give me better traction in snow. I like the color of the 330’s better but don’t buy shoes for their color.

For normal hiking I would guess they should both be OK. The extra few ounces that the 310’s save over the weigh of the 330’s should let me add a light weight digital camera to my list.

I was glad to see that REI was selling them. That should make them easier to get or get them replaced if a person had a problem with them. As on a long AT hike.
