RuMR Posted August 21, 2002 Share Posted August 21, 2002 I have a pair of them...I sized them exactly like the pink anasazi's and 1/2 size BIGGER than the velcro anasazi's  What size do you wear? I have a brand new (never worn at all) pair that is a UK 6 (US 7) for a $100. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geek_the_Greek Posted August 21, 2002 Share Posted August 21, 2002 I wear Euro brand shoes (Boreal, Scarpa, I think La Sportiva fit me, but don't own any). 5.10's don't fit me at all. I've tried on 3 different kinds and they're never fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelawgoddess Posted August 21, 2002 Author Share Posted August 21, 2002 i'm looking to get a pair of dragons. anybody have any hints to give me on sizing - preferably in comparison to la sportiva's rock shoes (like the mythos and miura)?

Good luck wit dat... well, i haven't found anybody around here that carries them yet. i can always send them back for another model and/or size; i'm just hoping i'll get lucky on the first try. i was also fishing for info on how much they stretch, but they're a pretty agressive shoe and i don't know anybody around here that uses them. anybody???

thelawgoddess Posted August 27, 2002 Author Share Posted August 27, 2002 i found the right size anasazi lace-up, but i think i want the velcro. any hints on how much smaller to go? (i'm used to the super-stretchy mythos so i'm nearly clueless here!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erik Posted August 27, 2002 Share Posted August 27, 2002 i think that fitting your shoes soo tight for therorethicsal perfomance inhancement is a bad idea...think long term...does the destruction of your foots natural form sound like a good idea?? Â i have several freidns who were in the skool of tight shoes for more aggresive footwork...well one of them cannot where mtn boots without expensive orthodics and the other has severe foot pain while running.....that sounds like more negatives then positives..... Â i wear my 5.10s at my street shoe size for the synthetic shoes: ascents and anasazis...(less streaching) and a half a size down for the softer shoe: mocaysms.

matt_warfield Posted August 27, 2002 Share Posted August 27, 2002 I agree with erik. even really high end slipper climbers keep 'em comfy for most routes, but have a really tight pair for the hardest ones. besides, if they're comfy, they don't stretch as much. I tried 5.10 first but they just don't fit my feet regardless of size. Cobras are the deal for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Flash_Amazing Posted August 27, 2002 Share Posted August 27, 2002 The beauty of a lot of the new shoes that are out now is that with the curved and cambered last, you get excellent performance out of them without crippling the shit out of your little piggies (uh, that'd be your toes). Dr. Flash Amazing's last several pairs of shoes (La Sportiva, anything using the Miura last, thanks) have all been comfy once broken in, and with the exception of the Miuras, can be worn for extended bouldering sessions in the gym without causing much suffering.

pu Posted September 11, 2002 Share Posted September 11, 2002 I have owned the anasazi mocasym, anasazi velcro, and the anasazi lace. The mocasym will stretch one half size but it has a leather upper. With the velcro and lace you would be fortunate to experience a quarter size of stretch. I would size the velcro one half size smaller than the lace. These are not comfortable shoes but they do perform well. As per comparing them to sportiva miura's and mythos....5.10's performance shoes have a completely different fit. They pull all of your toes towards the inside edge, "asym toe design". For me I sized down 2.5 for velcro and 2 for lace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelawgoddess Posted September 11, 2002 Author Share Posted September 11, 2002 i ended up getting the velcro anasazi's. Â i've been climbing since april and thought i already knew how to edge, but boy was i sadly mistaken. day one on my new shoes was a lesson in [more] proper edging. whoa; a new tool and a new trick! (the mythos are so forgiving that way, letting you smear everything with ease ...) Â anyhow, i love my new shoes. and they aren't nearly as ugly as i thought they were before i had the chance to climb on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
