Anyone tried the new yellow ones?
Anyone know where to get the old red ones size 8.5? I can only find odd sizes e.g. 12.

At last! Someone has made East Fife FC fell shoes!
They do look good though - not seen them yet. I love my Wave Harrier (first incarnation)...
Got a pair on saturday. Ran Cracken Edge in them yesterday and was very happy with them (if not my performance). Not tried them on the fells yet.
Only downside was the grief I got from fellow club members on the overwhelming yellowness of the shoe at the start- now nicely several shades of brown with just a hint of yellow shining through.
If you liked the previous Wave Harriers you'll be happy with these.
First run then beer. If no run then proceed directly to beer.
I'm thinking of these for the UTMB, I spoke with the guy at Pete Blands on Saturday and he reckoned they were broad at the toes? This true?
How are they on all terrain?
Torn between these and Crosslites at the mo?
Very wide toe box but narrow enough for me at the heel. One of the main reasons I got them was because so many of the other fell shoes are too narrow around my toes. eg Montrail Highlander, Inov-8 (roclite?)
I reckon they're a good all rounder which does mean you sacrifice a little grip if its very steep grass/mud but not so much that it's a problem. Some complain of grip on wet rock but I don't find that a particular problem. They're also ok on the road (if you have the misfortune of having to run on some horrible tarmac).
They're my first choice for long runs and training due to comfort and support and used them (the original blue wave harriers) happily on MMs, Edale Skyline, Tanky's etc.
I guess like anything you have to try them out for yourself to see if they suit you and your needs...
Not tried the crosslites so can't compare.

These sound interesting, I've got wide feet. I tried the wide Walsh PB Ultras most recently, but they actually feel a touch sloppy. Too much movement at the heels and hard to cinch things in with the laces.
I agree, I really like wave harriers as they suit my wide feet. I wear them for almost all my peak district 'fell' races, most of which are >90% on footpaths. With narrower shoes I find I'm less balanced and tend to twist my ankles or I run more tentatively down hill to avoid this.
Currently I'm on my third pair (two blue, one red). I'm not sure I would have picked bright yellow, but I reckon I'll get some when my current pair wear out.
Up+Running Chadderton didn't quite have my size in stock but tried some of the yellow ones 1/2 size bigger. They felt very similar to the red ones so I have ordered a pair the right size. £54 after club discount.

I had to take my red Wave Harriers back yesterday, after around 40 gentle miles, they'd started to split!
Anyone else had the shoe split on them?
I have loved the Wave Harriers for training and the long races, but they were not the shoe for Borrowdale. They are the old ones and it was like skating on the wet rocks on ScafellPike. If the new ones have the promised wet rock grip they will be brilliant.

Is it meant to be this hard?
