- I've had a two pairs of Brooks Magnums over the last two years. Both
- pairs have utilized the Hydroflow system. One of the shoes in the
- first pair blew a Hydroflow sac after no more than 100km. However,
- Brooks replaced them with the next year's model free of charge. I've
- put upwards of 700km on the new pair now and no sac blowout is
- apparent. I find them to be a really sturdy, comfortable training
- shoe. I'm beginning to get the impression that they've lost enough of
- their cushioning at this point to warrant purchasing a new pair of
- shoes. Does anyone have any feelings about whether 700km is a
- reasonable distance for replacement? It seems a little soon to me but
- perhaps this is the norm...
