Is it a good idea to buy shoes from the internet? i tried some on in a shop today but they were too expensive for me, I'm a size 12 so i tried on a shoe that was an 11 and one that was a 12 and they both felt the same, i think this is because the larger one was padded and the smaller one wasn't and they were different brands. So when buying from the internet how do you chose what size?

Thanks for the help!

What do you mean by type?

type =  brand and model.
par example,Five Ten. Anasazi lace up size 42

Are you taking the piss, Tubbs? 

Or, are you pissed? 

You're hard work, dude.

You should move to 'beris, strike up a babysitting deal with Pantonino, and he'll rob you a pair from V12 (he's got keys!) won't you Si?

i wasn't sure if you meant type as in lace up or slip on, or whether you meant high end ones or entry level ones. Sorry. I've ordered some now, they're Garra natura in size 12 I'll post back to tell you how they are.

...they're Garra natura in size 12...

Why did you buy them? Not saying they're shit or owt, but they look shit. Might be awsome though (chinny reckon) I'd be interested to know

please don't be disparaging about tubbs choice of footwear


i like these:



as can be seen from the shiny rand, they polish up a treat!

the shininess, and the sales pitch is what sold them:

"Another great EB shoe, with mold injected rubber and unlined suede leather. A great entry level shoe for those who are just picking up the sport. Lace these bad boys up and feel the comfort. While supplies last."

g.r.e.a.t.

Good job I ain't Lord Vader innit!  I'd have you on full-day squat-thrusts if I caught you on parade in them, Trooper Soapy!

i'm actually a little disappointed with them; they're not that comfy

just wish they still made proper eb boots

like i said earlier, I'll tell you when i get them which should hopefully be tomorrow or Saturday.

They're really good, perfect fit and i like the look aswell but i have nothing to compare them to because they are my first pair, but i would definitely recommend them for any beginner (order them in your street size and they will be fine) they only took me about an hour of climbing to get used to.

Found 5.10 to have great shape and friction but totally random sizing, making internet purchase dodgy..
