Tested, Reviewed and Fell Approved: The Reviews are in.

They’ve landed, and they’re performing. Many miles in winter conditions have been put into the OMM Fell shoes, and they are proving themselves on every terrain.

So, you don’t have to take our word for it. Read on to discover more about the “toothy beast” of a shoe that will happily eat the “steepest of descents for breakfast”.

SPORTSSHOES.COM

According to one of the country’s leading fell runners who gave their opinions on the fell shoe to SportsShoes, not only is the Vibram lug pattern aggressive, but it’s more aggressive than your “neighbour’s Rottweiler”.

“The Fell Shoe holds its line whether you’re clawing up a sodden hillside, contouring across sheep tracks, or throwing yourself downhill in weather that would cancel most races.”

They summarise the shoe well, describing it as no less than a “no-holds-barred off-road, off-trail, and off-map toothy beast that looks like it will eat the steepest of grassy descents for breakfast.”

Ultimately, SportsShoes described the Fell shoe as “confidence-inspiring and fun”.

RUN ULTRA

Luke Jackson writes that he’s been “properly sending it downhill” in the Fell shoes out over deep bog, heavy rain, icy ground, snow, wet rock, dry rock, grass; short and long and mixed fell terrain and found they constantly delivered.

“Straight out of the box, the shoes felt snug and secure through the midfoot. They’re lightweight, comfortable, and do an excellent job of shedding water, something that really matters in prolonged wet conditions”

Luke writes – “I genuinely feel like I can move faster because I trust what’s under my feet.”

In the end, Luke from Run Ultra summarises that the Fell shoe has become his go-to shoe for Fell conditions as it’s “comfortable, confidence-inspiring, and genuinely suited to the reality of UK fell running”.

This is "the fell shoe I’ve been waiting for”.

NORTHERN RUNNER

Northern Runner also agrees that the Fell shoe encourages full committal on a whole range of terrains, describing it as “secure and confidence-inspiring”.

They write that it’s “refreshing to see OMM, as a British brand, producing a shoe genuinely suited to classic fell conditions.“

The shoe lives up to this reputation according to Northern Runner, with the traction on muddy land described as “excellent” with a “very positive push-off”.

They wrap up the shoe strongly, writing “In summary, the OMM Fell Shoe is a highly grippy off-road running shoe designed for soft ground, open fell, and mountain terrain”.

The Fell shoe was inspired by decades of knowledge and expertise of the reality of fell conditions, and the quality and detail of the design reflects this.
