Podcast Insights
Content Themes
Focuses on the intersection of fell running and footwear innovation, with episodes discussing personal stories and memories related to the Walsh PB shoe, such as the influence of iconic runners like Finlay Wild and Joss Naylor. Topics include gear reviews, historical insights on fell running races, and the role of outdoor fashion in athletic culture.

Studmarks is a fell running podcast rooted in the history, culture, and community of the sport.
Each episode features thoughtful conversations with runners, race organisers, volunteers, and local characters, uncovering the stories behind classic races, unwritten rules, and the values that define fell running: self-reliance, respect for the mountains, and a strong sense of community. Alongside personal journeys, Studmarks reflects on how the sport has evolved while holding on to its distinctive character.
Studmarks is about shared experience as much as individual effort—muddy shoes, borrowed safety pins and post-race brews.

In this episode, Mike Boston—footwear designer behind the new OMM range—takes us inside the journey from concept to creation of a fresh line of fell and trail running shoes. He shares what it’s like building a product category from the ground up with a brand new to footwear, the challenges of designing for harsh terrain, and the key decisions that shaped the range.
Mike also offers his perspective on where running shoe design is heading—what’s next in performance, materials, and innovation—and how brands can better serve runners who demand more from their kit in the mountains.
A deep dive into design, function, and the future of running shoes.
