Works selling Magos for £50.

Mago sizing versus Booster sizing?

I took a punt on some size 43 Boosters mail order from Rock & Run last Autumn (street shoe size 45) & they turned out to be excellent for bouldering: super precise & powerful on small holds; uncomfortable but not outright painful. Works still has 43 Magos in stock. Laces obviously less good than velcro for a bouldering shoe, but are they otherwise similar?

I have 43 Magos and take a 45 in normal trainers. I suspect they'll be the same as the Boosters, as I'm a 43 in the Instincts so they seem to be pretty consistent...

43% off

arse

I ordered a pair of FreeRunners in my size for £40. Got an email saying that they had to cancel the order due to not having that size in stock. Went back online to see if they had the next size (I'm between a 45 and 46) only to find that they had put the price up by £16.

E mailed them to see if they'll send me a 46 for the same price....

This cheap shoes lark isn't as easy as it looks.

Wholesale jordan shoes are not very hot search on the internet, while Designer handbags look better. This is a search habit. Actually, recently, it is said that how people are prefencial to search for wholesale air jordans shoes on internet. This survey shows us cheap jordan shoes are always the most popular in the luxury brand shoes field. Why air jordan shoes are so popular in the world? According to the investigation, we can simply divide the wholesale handbags to 2 sorts. As we all know. USA and UK are the most mainly market for discount handbags, therefore, these two kinds of key words are searched by many times as well. That’s to say, you need to do some work at first online for Cheap clothes so that you will not be cheated. Let’s tell you the shopping skills. If you really like wholesale jordan shoes, don’t care about your money; just go for them at least once.

Pretty sure this is Spam  :shit:

What's the deal with outside Europe and ordering shoes from the UK? Can I somehow get the VAT knocked off?

When I was in Oz I got my parents to buy me some shoes and post them through, wrapped up and marked as a present.

Guess you could ask nicely if shops would do this, although it might be worth checking out the Australian Customs guidelines on Internet purchases  (which indicate that unless your shoes are > $1000 AUD then you should be fine ;))

Yeah, I know i could do it that way, but I don't really want to pay VAT either. I don't want any of my hard earned Aussie dollars going towards striking teachers  :worms:  ;)

ebay - narrow your search to "five ten shoes" and ignore the biking/freerunning ones. Including "rock" or "climbing" in the search seems to miss some pairs of 5.10 rock climbing shoes for some reason.

I've just scored 2 pairs of unused pinks for less than the price of a new pair of greens

Dunno if you can really call it cheap but outside are doing most 5.10s at the 'old' prices.
