About this product
This sits in the middle of the Wayfell range: stiffer than the Dunmail, lighter than the Garburn. The 2mm nubuck upper is in one piece over the forefoot, and a half-length nylon shank stops the sole folding on stone steps and old quarry tracks.
At 1,380g a pair in a UK 8 it's no featherweight, but the PU midsole holds its shape for longer than EVA, and the Holdfast sole has a flatter climbing zone at the toe for wet rock.
- 2mm nubuck upper, one piece over the forefoot
- Wayseal membrane behind the nubuck
- Half-length nylon shank for stone steps
- PU midsole that keeps its cushioning for longer
- Flat climbing zone at the toe for wet rock

Good but the tongue slips
Great on the Glyderau. My only gripe is the tongue shifts to the outside after a few miles, so I have to stop and pull it straight.

Grippy on wet rock
Used them on Haystacks and the way down to Gatesgarth farm in the rain. The toe section sticks to wet rock better than I expected. Comfortable from the second walk.
