Just done 19 miles today - my first run in them Horton - Pen-y-Ghent to Ribblehead - Hill Inn - Ingleborough - Horton - 4 hours on my feet.
No blisters - perfect fit - very good - decent grip.
Only comment is that I think these soles, like Swoops, are injection moulded and they seem to have a release agent coated on them to start with which could make them slippy on some surfaces first time up - best to have a run in them first to rough the bottoms up a bit.
Another to consider - Have a look at these Nike Trail Shoes I use them for XC and Trail and so far found them to be very good also £20 cheaper than when I bought them.

We went up ere yesterday:
I wore my new snazzy Adidas Kanadia shoes. They were really comfortable. As WP says 'no blisters'.
Bought a pair yesterday, £32 at Sport's Direct, Lancaster
Tried them a few days ago. Very good shoe. I wish it had better toe protection as Inov-8 and Salomon.
Note for all, the front bit of the shoe where the tread carrys on up the front of it....mine has come lose and is now hanging there like a flap, i tripped over a rock during the pennine b'way relays and thats what did mine so keep an eye on them.
If nobody has any idea what im trying to describe ill get a photo.
That could be an interesting pic.Originally Posted by Al Fowler
I was / am a big admirer of their predecessor- the Adidas Wanaka GTX trail shoe. They sadly seem to have been discontinued. I was hoping to win a pair of those puma trailfox ones to try em but a certain lanky gentleman put paid to that some time ago. I will seek refuge in my good old wanaka GTX
Saints Lad has a pair of trailfox's......keep taps on where he's racing and try and steal them off him.
Could be a goer Al- esp if he's just raced, as he'll tired and may struggle to catch me- he's prob not my size tho
He's a short-arse like you though so i reakon you might be similar?
