I've got some comfortable Montrail Phoenixes, which have small holes in the top where my toes have started wearing through. I've been assuming these wouldn't pass the inspection, so was going to take my newer Highlanders - but these are pretty much guaranteed to give me blisters, as the uppers are more rigid. Or alternatively, my Mudclaws - but would expect my feet to hurt big time by the end of 60 miles!

It sounds from the above though that my Phoenix might get through?

On another matter - the Fellsman website said a while ago that they were looking into additional camping arrangements and that an announcement would be made. There's been no announcement, and my email to the organisers has had no reply.
Anyone know what the deal is?
