And now for something completely different................Walsh Spirit Lite's............any good?

Mine are ok - felt a bit clumpy at first but fine now, they do skid a bit on wet wood and limestone, but when I had sticky rubber inovs I did not notice much difference to be honest.

Anyway stop trying to keep me up, I feel like I am Cerys Matthews having Tom Jones singing its cold outside at me to keep me up for nefarious purposes

The initial response was to the above comment.
Not an advert just a bit of info for those folks who were unaware

It was the wording of it rather than the response itself that annoyed me, since it had a mention of all the different shoes that contain sticky rubber and no mention of whether this is known to be any better than normal rubber or any mention of durability or similar. The OP didn't say they wanted to know of a better shoe for wet rock but was merely making an observation. Inov8 insider took this as a perfect opportunity to plug his brand which is an advert in my books. If he'd have said for example "re: wet rock - inov8 now use sticky rubber on some of our soles because we think it's better on wet rock, but it does wear down a bit quicker if that's any good to you?" it wouldn't have annoyed me as much.

Splitting hairs, but they are my hairs to split so to speak.

That's what i said, i mentioned number of posts, you been on the wine old Bean?
Thanks for the suggestion, but i'm celebrating tonight, got some cheap readers from specsavers.

I think I might need reading glasses. If I get some can I celebrate?

Suppose it could be worse Steve, we could be looking our hair too!

Yes as was said at the start of the thread they are quite good. I have a couple fo pairs of Inov8's and would rather use the Walsh than those. In my opinion the fit seems a whole lot better than the Inov8 and a darn sight comfier. Also unlike Inov8s I can wear them staright from the box! But seriously they are quite good, they fulfill every need I have for them in the West Pennines. Good grippy sole, blah blahblah, did I mention how much I like them, I'll probably go back to the PB for a pure fell shoe, watch out for size 9 mudclaws for sale!

The Spirit Lite/peak jobbies look a bit more cushioned than yer average Walsh shoe, is that actually the case? (fingers crossed...)

[Graeme78]

They are, yet still manage to be pretty light too.
