Efter 55 år i hjärtat av brittisk bergslöpning har OMM samarbetat med greppsexperterna Vibram för att skapa sin första sko – Fell Shoe. En specialdesignad fellöpningssko med rötter i OMM:s bergstradition och tekniska innovation.
Vi bestämde oss för att skapa en sko som inger förtroende i bergen. En sko som du inte kan springa ifrån. En sko som greppar när det verkligen gäller – i lera, myr och ojämn bergsterräng – oavsett om du befinner dig på en markerad stig eller långt bortom den.
I samarbete med Vibram har vi kombinerat tre av deras avancerade grepptekniker med OMM:s praktiska erfarenhet av bergslöpning för att skapa en superaggressiv sula och ett skräddarsytt mönster. Mönsterdjupet varierar mellan 8 och 11 mm för maximalt grepp i mjuk mark och på sten, medan en 4 mm drop och en vikt på 272 g ger en lätt, precis och smidig känsla på teknisk terräng.
Fell Shoe håller sin linje när förhållandena försämras – när du klättrar uppför blöta sluttningar, följer smala fårstigar över brant mark eller kastar dig nedför backar i väder som skulle stoppa de flesta löpare innan de ens kommit igång.

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
Vibram Litebase is the rubber base of the shoe. Lightness is fundamental to conserving energy and enhancing performance: Vibram Litebase 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
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 for improved stability and comfort. The Wave reduces internal compression, limiting movement inside the shoe and helping prevent hotspots and blisters. It also supports the foot through the gait cycle by spreading load and reducing layer shear as the shoe flexes, improving durability. By mapping the lugs onto the Wave, we achieve varied lug depth across the sole, from 8mm 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.
ROCK PLATE
A small EVA plate is embedded between the midsole and outsole where you strike with your forefoot. This spreads the impacts and provides underfoot protection from sharp rocks or uneven terrain.
PROTECTIVE UPPER
The tough rip-stop Nylon mesh upper is re-enforced with TPU. TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) parts are found in key contact points to aid durability, not limit flexibility, and increase the ability to withstand the toughest conditions. TPU has been added to a wide range of shoe components, toe box, eyelets and heel cups to provide protection from rocks, brambles, heather and anything else the fells throw at them.
INTERNAL SKELETON
Inside the shoe is a structural skeleton, the skeleton gives the shoes structure and added protection to the foot in key contact points. It can be found round the base of the shoe and extends up into the toe box, eyelets and heel cups.
