There's a few Miura velcros and Katanas velcros for around £65 in Sheffield Decathlon, sizes 39/40 from the ones I looked at.

Thought you might be selling some used shoes Guy, 8 pairs, used on one route only, in good condition apart from a small hole in the right shoe sole  :P

Might save someone a trip, these were gone by earlier this evening.

If anyone ever sees a pair of Boostics in 43.5 / 9.5 going cheap they are my go-to trad shoe and I'm out of money and out of rubber, so need a new pair. Let me know!

They're not dead, just have shallow holes 1/2 inch behind the big toe in every pair, five in total. 

I can climb on grit/trad in them and they're not peak lime-able anyway,. No worries; it could act as an impetus to resole a few. I might melt some rubber into them, is it possible to just melt an old shoe like that or am I going to get some lung disease not seen since the Victorian period?

I have a similar situation with Miura VSs.  I have four pairs that are all in generally decent condition; however, they have all thinned / softened at the toe just enough to make certain routes at Malham tricky (anything involving jabbing the big toe on a tiny spike).  Got fed up of continually having to break in new pairs and started to use the no-edge Futuras this year (only at Kilnsey in earnest though - they will make their Malham debut this weekend).

You guys should get them resoled with Llanberis Resoles. You will basically get a new shoe for like, less money.

Actually a load of shoes on there, if you can find them (in "Hiking" section)! Mostly low performance though
