Walsh Spirit Lite

[Roland]

I'm looking for a shoe for longish, fell/traily runs, maybe with even the odd road section...
...maybe I'll just have to get Harriers again?

Have you considered the Adidas adizero XT3..

No I hadn't - are they a fairly low profile kind of shoe, or just a road shoe with an off-road outsole kind of thing? They do look fairly grippy, I'll give 'em that!

[Rob Furness]

They look pretty handy, might have a look for them next time I'm shopping

[plodding bear]

Having had a bit of a read of them, I might keep an eye out for them too. I think the 'zero' refers to a fairly minimal, low profile kind of effort. Could be good...

[Roland]

are they a fairly low profile kind of shoe

Yes, lower than the speedcross3 but not as low as the Talon 212.. 6mm differential...

I've had the earlier version of those for a couple of years and they are one of the best all-rounders I've had. Be careful of sizing, I'd probably have bought a half size up if I was buying them now.

So normally I'm a 10, but with the adizero I'd be wanting 10.5 I take it? I'll probably try and get a pair in Sportsshoes or somewhere, where I can try them on. They look like they might be just the job.

Adidas are often quite narrow. I'd definitely try before you buy :closed:

Size 10 Talon 212`s and size 10.5 XT3`s are a very similar fit...

I emailed Walsh and had a reply saying that, yes the Spirit Lites have been discontinued. No reason given though. The guy also said that the Spirit peak is more or less the same shoe and only around 9g heavier.

I thought the Spirit Peak was heavier than that though :s
