Scarpa (less so but still sometimes notable).
Quote from: abarro81 on September 26, 2012, 02:17:31 pm Scarpa (less so but still sometimes notable).I couldn't choose between the Instinct Slippers in a 40, or a 41.5! I love them, but there can be a massive difference from one batch to the next. Even more than 5.10!
Maybe it's got worse?
Yes, me, because they fit me far better than 5.10 (massive heels), Scarpa (massive toe box) and La Sportiva (doesn't feel right for some reason).
This Sunday we are running one of our quarterly sample sales. We will be at Uppermill Museum with past season samples and stock from prAna, Metolius and Evolv. Once again, we will be running the event in conjunction with local store Mountain Feet and the new specialist climbing shop The Crag Station. Mountain Feet will be there with great discounts on specialist footwear, and The Crag Station will have introductory vouchers for their shop opening this weekend. Sunday 30th September 10am - 4pmSaddleworth Museum, Uppermill
That's 20 different models. And as mentioned, this isn't going to include entry-level shoes. And nobody's mentioned the Miura VS, Arrowheads, Teams (all of which are popular), but nobody's said them, so they don't go on the list.I'll grant that Anasazi Velcros crop up more than most, hence why everyone and their dog stocks them, but in order for a shop to entice as many customers as possible, they've got to offer everyone's favourites, as well as alternative models (just to try), and then they don't want to alienate the beginners, so to please those 11 people, and as many other people as possible, you're looking at 25 models, bare minimum. Maybe add a few more for women's fit too.Anyway.... I've accidentally hijacked this thread. Sorry.
La Sportiva -Miura Lace - THE all round top performance shoe, imo. It fits like a glove and edges like a beast.
Miura VS - As above, sized another half size down from my lace ups for red points and steeper stuff. Sexy shoes. Shame I can't wear them for longer periods, boo.

Every time i come here, I expect to find a shoe bargain, but it's just you lot discussing your favourite shoes!
hmm - possibly not (though it might be worth trying..) good spot though SL.
