Are they? Not the sportivas and scarpas from what I can see?

Yeah - they're cheapish - but not as cheap as I've seen them (I'm a regular Scarpa market watcher :D)

Most of the shoes are still in the £95 - £105 range, they say the RRP for them is about £130, but the prices listed are fairly typical.

Boosters for £107.90 is saving nearly £40 off RRP, which is a decent saving.

I've never seen La Sportiva Solutions for £90. They are always over £100 brand new (normally £120ish)

Rock and run have had a couple of 20% discount codes recently. I think with these solutions woukd have worked out about £90. I saw the codes through my Facebook feed.

That’s so weird, when I click through on that it’s showing £108, have you got a discount code in or something?

Looks like it could be different prices or discounts for different geographical areas. If I check the page from my home network it comes out as £108 (a 25% discount on £145 rrp) but if I check from the work VPN it comes out as $108 or a 35% discount. 108 USD ~= 88 GBP.

I don't know how that happened. Sorry guys. I went to pay and they suddenly included the VAT of 20%. So it ended up being £108. Confusing.

I'm after some comfy trad shoes. Anyone got any beta on cheap shoes that might fit the bill?

Anyone had a go with these yet? Tempted.

Friend has these and rated them very highly, although he broke the strap on them (typical Solution) in about four weeks, but I think he was pulling them too tight as I've never had an issue with the dyneema style closure La Sportiva use.

I've had the new design solutions for a while, and never had an issue with the straps, although i've been a bit cautious due to issues I've heard of from others. Might give them a go, thanks.

3 sessions in with the new solution comps and they are the best yet.
Been using the solutions for years and always had an issue with the straps( it’s just something you have to live with) even though they have clearly been trying to sort it out in the latest shoes.

Greatest shoe on the market and has been for years, despite it’s obvious downfalls.

Cheers scrag, away to get some to try.

PS If anyone spots cheap really small shoes please post on here. Son has now outgrown the kids decathlon ones, and is now wearing his mum's old ones, which are a  tad big. Size 1-2ish.

The link I posted above has Maverinks in 33, 34 and 34.5, which Google tells me works out as 1 to 2 in UK adult sizes: https://www.urbanrock.com/la-sportiva-maverink/

And they were originally designed and marketed as being for kids/adolescents -- you just had a bunch of small-footed adults like me discovering that they're gold.
