disobey_gravityEver since I started climbing, I've used 5.10 Spire shoes - they're fully laced and so suit my wonky feet. From time to time, I've tried to find other shoes, but to no avail.
Anyhow, I've finally worn holes in the current pair, and went online to buy a new pair, to discover that 5.10 have discontinued them. Woe!
I gather the Anasazi Guide is in some sense the descentant of the Spire, but no-where in town sells them. I may yet get a pair online and expect to return them if they don't fit (but that's expensive and faffsome). So after a rather frustrating lunchtime, I now have a pair of La Sportiva Tarantulaces by the advanced selection criteria of "only pair that will actually go on my feet"; I'll find out tomorrow if I can actually climb in them...
