You should watch the vid rodma - that's exactly what pietro says. Sportiva's men's/women's shoes differ in stiffness and rubber, not shape. Makes sense to me, but I wish they'd split it by size and not by male/female. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I hate having tiny feet, too many flagship (men only ) shoes start at a 38. Like the booster s, which is not made for me cos I don't have manly feet.

You should aim those toys to the UK distributor rather than the manufacturer. They start them at size 35 apparently http://www.scarpa.net/en/climbing-shoe-booster-s.html
I did a short test of the Verdon this summer and liked it quite a lot. It will be the only shoe I'll bring to Taghia. I usually climb in Miura.
These are blue Miuras aren't they?
Pretty sure that lots of the La Sportiva models have plastic moulded midsoles and they don't seem to hold anyone back.
Alarm bells started ringing when I heard that there is a plastic midsole. I remember having a pair of Boreal Sprint II that had this that skidded all over the place as there was no give at all which meant they never moulded to the shape of any hold, especially as they only had a thin veneer of rubber on them, I take it this isn't a problem with these jwi?
Same as the booster S. I love them (except dumb ridge in the heel)
