flanker Feb 2024 12:00am, 6 Feb 2024 21,145 posts	Quote Pin flanker mudtalons coped really well with the mddiest of mud, even contouring a gloopy field and steep descents didn't require any extra attention. They even coped well with the couple of mile of diversion via road due to a bridge being out. Feet muddy but unmarked after. They aren't a warm shoe though. The nylon upper seems tough, drains well, but doesn't retain much heat and lets the wind through. And they are not great on slimy cobbles, but what is? In short, the best winter shoe I've had. As comfy as the Trailfly, grip is as good if not better than a mudclaw and certainly more comfortable over long distance, and a very stable ride even on broken surfaces.

Great fun except my friend is far too fast for me these days 😂 Showed my trails are great until they hit muddy decents and then not so good. Will probably need to upgrade before any serious fell races.

The few miles of road at the weekend probably didn't help, but on long events it's not unusual to have short road sections linking area of fell together.
