In reply to Days on Rock: Gone from Walshes > 300's.. never touched Fellraisers.
I prefer the 300's.. the soles last longer, walshes are great when new but in North wales the rock but down their studs too fast.
I also find that the wide walshes are a bit boaty and the narrow ones too narrow but the 300s fit perfectly. I love them as a general fell shoe. Hopefully inov8 will leave them as is.
The black and yellow are supposedly tougher than the blues but I can't say I found a huge difference, the soles still wore fast. the upper was never an issue, maybe in the more acidic peaty areas it is.
I never resoled them, it was an option but it was still pretty pricey, 30? and I could normally pick up new ones for 50-60 ish and normally had various vouchers to use. Also Walsh laces don't last well.. snapped many just before races.. always a right pain in the arse.
