For anyone trying to exploit this deal in London I just rang the new Go Outdoors in Colindale. They had never heard of katanas, said they didn't have any and had no idea when they would be getting any. Fuck my urban life

They've got them in Swindon, but have limited sizes. If anyone wants me to check size availability or get them a pair (subject to credit check  ;)) then I can nip out during my lunchbreak sometime.

Do people really pay £115 for climbing shoes? That's just madness.

supposedly there is to be a couple of price increases coming soon on some of the ~85 quid boots so in the end Jasper, you're not going to have much choice (maybe if you bought your other shoes at Next?)

It's ok. I've climbed so little in the past year (  :( ) that I have two virtually new pairs, one of which was free and the other pair that cost me £35. Once they get anywhere near wearing out I'll start scouring the internet bargain bins (  ;D ).

Suppose the thing that surprised me was the disparity between some shoes at £75 - £85 and others at £115. And the fact that (as 90% of climbers are total punters) people must be buying the more expensive ones in the mistaken belief that it will make them better at climbing?

You mean expensive shoes don't help me climb better?  I've no hope  :P

Cheers Krank, had been intending to head out to get some dragons, haven't tried any on though so hoping the size is ok.

Some Magos at Rock&Run - http://www.rockrun.com/products/Scarpa-Mago.html

anyone rate/dis the magos?

I have probably got more climbing out of my Magos than any shoe in twenty years. They're seemingly indestructable. I've had them for over 2 years now and I'm still not through the sole and they have retained their shape. Depends whether they fit your feet of course, but I've quite liked them for steep stuff. They're more 'clumpy' than 5.10s and not as nice to climb in for me, but the heel is very good.

They are great, super comfy too( for me at least). I notice they've only got 39/39.5/45s though.

I need Magos in 44  :'( The Works were selling them at £40 but I missed my chance to grab a pair.
I might just get another pair of dragons and avoid slabs!

Do Magos have the same heel as Boosters? Can't believe they discontinued the Spectros!  :boohoo:
