They do have very good grip but I don't think there's anything as grippy as the Mudclaw.
Overall though they're much better (for me).
-They are incredibly comfortable. Had mild blisters from the 1st two short runs in them but nothing since (I've never broken a shoe in so quickly).
-Durable. Mine still look pretty much new, apart from the laces which needed replacing after 140 miles (although I replaced them with some newish inov8 laces which have just started fraying so maybe it's the way I abuse them. I would always be lucky to get more than 100 miles out of a pair of PB laces).
-Relatively lightweight at around 270g (I think).
-Warm. For some reason my feet stay warm in them. Maybe they'll be too warm come summer but the only time my feet have been cold, even slightly, this winter was while running through an icy bog for about an hour (no special socks).
The downside is obviously the price, but as I've spent the last few years in various shoes that have either been painful or uncomfortable to run in and I know these shoes are at least moderately durable, I'm prepared to pay the same again.
If you're already happy in Mudclaws or PBs I don't think there's a good enough reason to pay nearly double for the Fellcross.
