    Best Shoes for the Ben?

    What shoes ru going to wear for the Ben? (have you worn b4?) - I have RX Terrains (no good on rock), some worn down Walshes and some Montrail Highlanders (good for the road and the steps - but a bit too cushioned). Quite a few runners in my club are going to try Mudclaws...
    Cheers.

    Mizuno Harriers for me.
    The walsh's have made me relly suffer at Chipping show today so I am going for comfort and a couple of pints next week.

    PS I owe you a beer Madmick for the Ben CD.
    Will you be about after the race?

    I had Inov8 290's and they were OK - pity you just can't get a pair of shoes that stop you tripping over large jaggy rocks!

    Why's that?

    Mine aren't so good on rock and I'm thinking about Walshes, but the Mizuno's fit me really well.
