Go Outdoors currently have them on for £58, bargain compared to Dragons. Just in case anyone is interested.

I really liked the matadors, the main issue though was that the fully enclosed toe box stops any stretching at the front so if you have one foot slightly larger than the other you'll end up with a permanently painful fit...

I'm heading down to Go Outdoors today to try some, I need some new shoes anyway as my Scarpa Boosters have what can only be described as enough room for a small animal in the heel area.

Heel is much better on the matadors. I switched the other way and hate heelhooking with the boosters!

I have the matadors as well. I have really narrow feet and find the heel fits better than any other shoe I have had. I'd definitely recommend them  :great:

Home now with my snazzy new Matadors. They are an absolute perfect fit for my feet, just need to go and put them into action!
