I've had my eye on the Mk1s and Mk2s on Ebay or a while and wasn't sure of the quality but the comments on here seem pretty positive as an 8 in Walshs and Montrails I'll oder 8s and 8.5s and post my thoughts.

BUT... I originally got interested thinking they had a more cushioned sole than my Walshs and Highlanders (they look thicker?) but reading the latter comments i'm not so sure? I was after something that was a bit more comfortable/supportive on longer mixed runs than my Walshs, should I look elsewhere?
