As I don't have any Boosters not 100% sure but they appear similar. I thought the Boosters WERE the Magos, minus laces and the toe-stiffening midsole.

The planetfear webshop has some offer on at mo including anasazi greenies for 65

http://www.planetfear.com/browse/RockShoes_1642_0_0.html

however i was in their shop in keswick the other day, and you get at least 15% off instore as a member (which is free) and this makes for some pretty good wee bargains. Dude said i could call in, sort membership over the phone and order that way if i wanted.

anyone rate/dis the magos?

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

Do the Mago's fit the same as the Spectro's?

No, the mago's feel smaller for the same number size.

Yes but...comfier although smaller. Bit squashed on big toe till worn in but that goes away. My Spectros are the same size as my Magos, which are the better shoe (ie Magos are ) and I thought the Spectros were great, although painful till worn in. In fact I liked the Magos so much that although I didn't buy the company, I did buy 2 pairs from the Works when they had them half price.

Damn you! I missed out on that offer, by the time I found out they had sold out of my size  :thumbsdown:

Had to settle for a second pair of Dragons from Camp4 for 65 Quid  :thumbsup:

The Mago's have been ordered. If they're better than the Spectro's (which I think are fab for Lime routes) then I'll be proper impressed.

Where are the rock BOOTS for those who regret RDs and PAs?

I can't see why anyone in the UK would regret the passing of RDs or PAs.  I've climbed in some of those old boots and they were rubbish!  Bare feet were a better option in many circumstances.
 
Several manufacturers make high-tops aimed at the US thrashing-up-wide-cracks market (example) and I almost see the point here.  Alternatively, leather ankle protectors work well and leave you with a better shoe for the 99% of the time you're not climbing offwidths.

Psyching up for the Hollow Flake

Not as good as I thought, as I hadn't factored in the postage, when I posted this...sorry  :spank:.. Didn't planet fear used to do cheap postage (Before it went up the Swanee and taken over?)

And to add insult to injury, you'd have to climb in Verdes. :(
