Just a point about the Puma trailfox,just to back skarsnik up.If it is wet or even damp i will not be wearing the trailfox,they are lethal in the wet ! I would rather wear road shoes than them.I Think they have made the sole with a hard material to prevent wear,but this makes them rubbish for grip. Will be wearing some inov8 320 if wet although they are not great in the wet either ! Would wear my 280's but not enough cushioning and slightly flat and clompy for such a long descent.I just hope it's dry.
Don't forget to soak your socks, and grease(vaseline) your feet Rodders.:)Quote:

Hi CL,not sure about soaking socks,will cool for a while but surely will soften feet and cause blisters that way ! Might just plaster feet on known hot spots ! Iain i tend to get sore feet with my walshes on any long hard descents,around my sole and towards my heels.I can see the dilemma mind,needing a shoe thats tight and stops movement in the shoe,but has cushioning and grip and role and lightweight :eek:
What are you doing this weekend as prep ? I'm in two minds whether to do Fan y big or go and recce Snowdon early hours of sun morning before the walkers !
ps.I agree with the shoe expense,i ran Moel y gamelin race other week and took 5 pairs with me not knowing which to choose ! Who says it's a cheap sport.
I'm doing my usual tapering..so will do Siabod Race Saturday and the Orme Uphill 5 K Race Sunday, Race the train 5k Wednesday and Snowdon Race next Saturday. I find I run best of high mileage high racing.Quote:

I was talking to Stan Charles and i here you will be wearing a different colour vest next week....a little red number rather than your usual green !! Well done
