erik Posted May 2, 2003 Share Posted May 2, 2003 ALSO ON A SIDE NOTE. TENAYA CANYON IS QUITE FUN!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuMR Posted May 2, 2003 Author Share Posted May 2, 2003 They are on Barrabes...I just got a pair of them... Apparently Josune Ber-whatever climbs in them and that Julian Ramonet climbs in them...so, you got the baddest chick climber and the baddest guy climber in these shoes, and they are DIRT cheap...makes one think about telling 5.10 et al. to fuck off at over 130 bucks a pair... I'll post something after I climb in them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuMR Posted May 2, 2003 Author Share Posted May 2, 2003 Its the same rubber as sportiva...shite, the way world economy is, they are probably built in the same town/factory/labor... Plus, Kauk is an old sportiva guy and is now with tenaya...so its probably super similar shoes at a 2/3 the cost... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pair of Cobras, pair of Miuras, couple pair of Mistrals, plus a pair each of Cob's and Miuras that need resoles. VIVA SPORTIVA! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erik Posted May 2, 2003 Share Posted May 2, 2003 TOO BAD 510 DONT LAST MUCH LONGER THEN 6 MONTHS AND MAYBE A RESOLE!! I KNOW I HAVE POOR FOORWORK, BUT WHY DO MY SPORTIVAS LAST LONGER?? OOOOOOO WHERE YA AT NOW SHORTY?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuMR Posted May 2, 2003 Author Share Posted May 2, 2003 Right here, biatch... Sportiva's always grow that sick ass smelly slime in them....foot fungus farms... My shoes usually go through 3 - 4 resoles easily...plus, they are synthetic so you huck them in the washing machine and they come out brand spanking new...throw a pair of sporto's in there and they come out in 50 pieces of shit...

specialed Posted May 2, 2003 Share Posted May 2, 2003 Sportivas tend to be stiffer so better for bigger guys like me. If you are say, a midget, and weigh 45lbs soaking wet then 5.10s may be for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RuMR Posted May 2, 2003 Author Share Posted May 2, 2003 Seriously....back to the topic at hand...they look very similar to Sportiva Miuras/5.10 Anazasis (basically same shoe in my book; although the Miuras better built)...but they are HALF the cost... anybody used them yet???

specialed Posted May 2, 2003 Share Posted May 2, 2003 Girl Mythos in an ever-so-pleasant muted lime green. I like Mythos and I like girls. Whats there not to love? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuMR Posted May 2, 2003 Author Share Posted May 2, 2003 (edited) And that's another thing...wtf is up w/ a "girls" model? does it have built in underwire support or something??? I mean, you size shoes wicked ass tight and then stretch them to fit...Presto, it fits your foot male or female... Marketing gimmick...ever notice top chicka climbers are in the best shoes that are not gender specific????

Alpinfox Posted May 2, 2003 Share Posted May 2, 2003 (edited) How bout them Mad Rock shoes eh? They's some weird-lookin', inexpensive, innovative kickers. I ain't used em yet.... Anyone? Rock&Ice editors liked em. Edited May 2, 2003 by Alpinfox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
