Fell Shoes for beginner

[San Marzano]

I did the Tigers Todger last night as one of my first fell type races - the shoes i have at the moment are more suitable for road running which i would like to keep up when i havent got the time to head into the peaks.

Can anyone recommend a decent pair of cheapish off road trainers and where i could pick a pair up - new or second hand - (size 8)

Many Thanks

Oh goody, can we have the Walsh vs Inov-8 argument all over again ?

You might want to read this thread, this thread, this thread and this thread to name but four. There are lots of comments on shoes in the Equipment section.

Thanks David - that should give me something to think about.

Thanks again

Just get whatever is most comfortable

If you're going to be doing anything more than a couple of races you'll want some shoes that you can run in and that won't tear your feet to bits.

I buy the cheapest kit I can find for everything except shoes - they're the most important thing you will buy.
