Walsh Spirit Lite

[IanDarkpeak]

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

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

A lot more cushioned than both Walsh PB and Mudclaws But doest have the aggressive grip for steep grass/heather etc. It is a trail shoe not a fell shoe.

Disagree fine in grass and heather just not in very muddy conditions

Might be a good bet for the Fellsman, then. rocky paths, grass, bog...

I don't think they're that bad, too be honest if you want a good all around alternative to the PB or mudroc that can cope with trails and roads this is your shoe. I would consider using them on most stuff, lakes, peak dale etc. I wouldn't race in them though

I think they would be an excellent shoe for that and for a lot of long distance stuff too.

I think Graeme grasped my comments alittle better than Paul.

Yes they are ok on Heather/grass and moorland but if were racing down a steep bank of the above or muddy terrain as Paul says then I'd want a more agressive sole.

The pace of the Fellsman is a little more sedentry for most so yes I would say this is a good choice for races/challenges such as the Fellsman

I may well get these as my next dry weather or trail shoe, I currently use harriers for off road when it's not slippy enough for pb's but these are starting to look like a good bet.

I have just got a mail order pair of these. (spirit lite)

the fit around the heel and midfoot is really nice. What should I expect in the toebox area? there seems to be a great deal of space between the end of my toes and the front of the shoe, is this normal or should I return them and get a half size down?

[ZootHornRollo]

they are deathly on wet rock, be warned - and not great in mud, IMO

good shoe for any terrain in dry conditions though

[superflyguy]

used them on saturday for Rombalds Stride. no problems with the fit, really comforatable.

found them usable on the flags on top of Ilkely Moor, but wouldn't want to be slowing down or changing direction as they were slidey. had to take care crossing the 'babbling' streams.

looking forward to some drier weather now!

Does anyone know the weight (approx.)? I take it they're pretty light or lite!

The Walsh website gives weights for the fell trainers, but not for the Spirit Peak and Lite.
