The bit on the top line where it says “ more link” sort of suggests it’s bogus.

I've just bought 5 pairs with my credit card. Nothing to lose.

Is this too good to be true? 80% off La Sportiva's at https://dusktrend.shop/ . Loads of models and loads of sizes. Solutions for £21, TC Pros for £23 etc. + £8 postage!!

Well, my work has blocked it and combined with the prices......

I'll probably be making a call to American Express next week, but you've got to be in it to win it  ;D

None of the links to socials go to La Sportiva and they’re selling Olympus Mons Cube for £39.34 (reduced from £196.69). Boots which actually retail for £935.

That's not even half-plausibly genuine.
Why would anyone knowingly want to facilitate CC fraud?
First for me. Never felt sorry for AmEx before in my life!

Please don't tell me you took my posts as serious!?  :lol:

As you say, no one could actually think that it was genuine!

I've been noticing a few ads on facebook for companies making similar claims about La Sportiva deals. They are all extremely sketchy looking, and I reported one and Facebook has taken it down for going against community standards. Given I've reported other spam in the past and they do fuck all about it, I'd say this was a pretty clear scam.

Be careful out there!

I get a fair few ads on Facebook for top end British shoe makers at give away prices. The E address is always nothing like the company they are pretending to be. They claim to be an outlet shop and these companies don’t have one. I have reported them but and they disappear but they continue appear so I don’t really think Facebook gives a shit.

Ha,  I saw that on facebook and was going to get some of the jeans.  Came out of the page, then couldn't find it again on facebook so assumed they'd taken it down.  Trying to find it by google again and couldn't find it.  Total Scam.
If it sounds too good to be true, it generally isn't.

Another example (I think) of too-good-to-be-true prices at lasportivaworld.com - ad came up on social media for me and the site is pretty convincingly set up, I'll be surprised if they don't make some decent dollar out of it. Quick Google shows the domain was registered 5 days ago in the Netherlands. I'm still not 100% convinced I'm right!

That’s an amazingly authentic looking site PeteHukb!

What was it about the 80% discount that made you suspicious?  :-\

Here is a legit good deal:

https://rockrun.com/collections/scarpa-quantic-climbing-shoes/products/scarpa-quantic-womens?variant=42852529701045

£40 Scarpa Quantic.

Not the most aggressive/technical shoe but I bought a pair to do some mileage / warm ups etc it and am initially pleasantly surprised with them.

There's so much volume in that shoe. Really tricky to have some costumers who actually fit the shoe.

I was all set to get another pair as they're such good workhorses and then saw that for every size except EU 36 it says "+£37.93", bringing the price up to 116 - impressively shoddy.

Black Diamond have a decent sale on. Lots 40% off. No idea about what their shoes are like but worth checking out for the deals in sacs, harnesses, ropes, portaledge! etc

don't buy the approach shoes if you actually intend to use them for approaching

Interesting! As I’m in the market for a new pair of shorts - are they quit a relaxed fit?

I’m a bit of a trad man so have larger legs and bum than your average sport climbing upside down triangle person

Yes, relaxed comfy fit, your build description fits mine (runner legs and bum and dad belly!).I'm a 38 / 40" waist and was surprised that this is their Large, I am normally an XL, then remembered it's US size :)

Don't buy the portaledge unless someone else is hauling it!

bananafingers/epictv have Sportiva Testarossa 2s at 40% off in many useful sizes.

I like the Testarossa 1s but have not tried the 2s. Some people suggest going down a half size in the 2s, others suggest no change. Anyone worn both?
