Does anyone here ever wear road shoes in fell / mountain races? I've known Holmesy wear them at Ben Nevis (!) which certainly is technical and steep, although he is obviously exceptional in several ways. I get the feeling most people would be better off in fell shoes even on Snowdon, just some wear their roadies either out of habit or out of not knowing any better (in the case of some overseas runners who never do up and down races). I certainly wouldn't feel safe in them and I'm a pretty decent descender who rarely goes over on the ankles.
