OMM Fell Shoe (UK Footwear Size System, Adult, Men, Numeric, Medium, 7.5)

LUG PATTERN Made specifically for UK fells using OMM’s extensive mountain experience. The Fell Shoe has a bespoke lug pattern that provides vast amounts of grip when ascending, descending, contouring or braking. We’ve also offset all the lugs so there is no line of sight through the sole. This means all the lugs are always engaged consistently providing maximum grip. VIBRAM TRACTION LUG Adding nobbles onto the lugs. Lugs on lugs if you like. Vibram says these nobbles add 50% more surface area to the lug enhancing grip and traction. We think this makes a lot of sense. As the lugs press into the ground the smaller lugs capture areas that resist sliding and improve propulsion and braking power. VIBRAM LITEBASE AND MEGAGRIP Vibram Litebase is the rubber base of the shoe, and reduces 30% of the overall sole weight through a reduction of the sole thickness by 50%, while maintaining Vibram quality in grip, traction and durability. Vibram Megagrip is the high-performance rubber compound that offers unparalleled grip properties on both dry and wet terrains. Extremely durable, it gives you confidence and control, while maintaining an optimal balance between stability and flexibility for ground adaptation. WAVE TECHNOLOGY Using both a Vibram outsole and midsole allows us to mould a wave shape into the sole of the shoe. This brings several benefits; For starters, the Wave acts to reduce internal compression of the midsole, meaning less movement inside the shoe and less risk of hotspots and blisters. It also disperses energy along the length of the foot, flattening and providing support as you move through the gait cycle. As your foot flexes, the Wave decreases the shearing forces between the shoe’s layers, extending their lifespan. Finally, by mapping the lugs onto this wave, we achieve varied lug depth across the sole - from 8mm up to over 11mm. X-LOCK - An adjustable lacing pattern on the upper that reduces pressure points across your foot. This maintains tension, instils confidence underfoot and reduces rub points. The X-Lock also secures the tongue holding your foot securely on those steep descents meaning there’s no need to ‘cheese wire’ your feet with tight laces.
