Just wondered what other users had found. Cheers.

I'd be careful ordering without trying on Steve; I think I needed a 10 when I normally have a 9 in other shoes. The fit's a bit 'different' too - snug in the heel area and fairly narrow across the toes.

I had my 1st run in mine last night and think they'd be good for LDWA events, PPP, Hobblyhike etc. They're great for walking too.

I've been thinking about them for a while - any good for Snowdon?

I have used Highlanders for enduro's around lakes and Wales and find them awsome, much better than my Inovate 315's which despite looking so comfortable I find give me all sorts of joint problms on top of the foot and feel clumsy on uphill sections. I'd go for Highlanders every time unless someone can recommend other alternatives?

Ok. I need to try some on. But where? Anywhere in High Peak, Buxton, Glossop area sell these?

The shop 'Crag X' at The Foundry Climbing wall in Sheffield do, or at least used to. Ring them for availablity

I have a pair i bought last year and have just 40 miles running in them. In very good nick and would sell for 20 quid plus p&p. Size 8.

I love my Montrail's, I wear them all the time. As regards the sizing, I take a 6.5, I ordered a 6.5 and they fit perfectly, never had any bother with blisters. Got 2 pairs from www.lakesrunner.co.uk last year when they were on offer at £30, not sure if they have anymore at this price.

I've got some - they've given me a monster blister on my Achillies after 5m!
I got the same size as my other shoes, found the heel very stiff; wonder if I can soften it?
Any ideas very welcome!

Ordered my normal size 7 and they fit fine. Done 3 races and find them very comfortable although considerably heavier than my Walshes.

Now I just need to do something about the slow tub of lard stood in em:o

I've two pairs of Highlanders and they were looking a bit worn. Off they went to Lancs. Sports repairs and they now even more grippy... great and (for two pairs £42) money well spent. The replacement soles do wear a bit fast, but still worthwhile.:)
