may be you are right FH, but I don't want them as a lightweight Fell shoe I was thinking more of long mountain races/rounds, They have a lot more protection around the toe and look well made. It's really to replace my old Highlanders but some thing I can do the longer more rugged races in?, Tried 3 different shoe since my highlanders and non match up to it's ruggedness and performance, saw these in a shop and thought HMMMMMMmmm?
