Ok I need some new shoes and as Cotswolds sent me a catalogue with a 15% discount card I thought I'd try what thay have on offer. Phoned them up and as a result I have a selection of sizes of the above shoes to try.

But as yet I've not seen a pair and not heared how they perform.

Anyone here know much about them.

The alternative is hunting down another pair of Kantanas.

so long as they're the newer stock (the rubber wears out super quick on the old stock - apparently its been sorted), the mugens are pretty hard to beat, similar to anasazi velcro's but with heals that actually fit

[Big Frank]

Is there anyway of telling if they are old or new stock, info on the box???

I won't tell you to buy Mad Rocks as I'm in a slightly bias position (all though they are top shoes  :D ). I have seen the new Red Chilis and my mates got a pair which he likes so I think they are probably pretty good. They will stretch as all RC's do and the heel is not as good as the Mugens, oops sorry, I'm trying not to be bias :wink:

In answer to the rubber wear issue thats been raised, there are very few of this old batch left in the UK as they have pretty much sold through, also if you buy them from Cotswold they have been selling tons so all theirs should be new stock. Hope this answers the question.

Cheers Greg
