I bought x-talons as my first pair of fell shoes.....and as my 2nd pair.
Even if i was to stay in a lake for an hour, the amount of water they absorbed wouldnt be enough to even notice you where wearing then on your feet - well i've never paid any attention to feeling any weight anyway.
After ive worn them....i blast them with a hose-pipe.....squeeze abit of the water out and then leave then upside down....often put one on each of the two posts we have on our decking.
Then once the waters all drained out...i take the inners out and put them on the radiator until dry.
Simple.
