In reply to Mick Ryan - UKClimbing.com: At size 4 they might be a bit tight on me - also will clash with my pink lycra leggins

In reply to Mick Ryan - UKClimbing.com: i love progress.

In reply to Tobias at Home:

I'd prefer them in silver.

In reply to seagull: i particularly like the flower print on the soles.

still, they'd be perfect for the girl who likes to climb wearing rings.

In reply to Tobias at Home:

Oh no. Cue link to that detached finger pic.

In reply to Tobias at Home:
LOL what is that girl in the photo doing?! PMSL!

Nice 'climbing clothes' as well, ho ho ho...

In reply to Glyn Jones:

In reply to deepsoup:
LOL I can't believe it, look at her hand, she's chalked up! LOLLOLOL! Only I bet it's talc...

In reply to gingerkate:
Reminds me of Batman and Robin 'climbing' up a horizontal building facade with a stick in their capes to make them hang 'down'. Do you think there's someone just out of shot holding the chalkbag?

In reply to deepsoup:
Shorts AND leggings? Is that acceptable?

In reply to gingerkate:

whaat a great idea - do you think they'll bring out a range of scented chalks?

In reply to Mick Ryan - UKClimbing.com:

They're vile.

In reply to Tobias at Home:
I don't know, but when I got given some talc as a xmas present my immediate thought was 'can I use this as chalk?' (well it's white, it's powdery....). But no, talc is really really bad chalk. Sad to say.

In reply to Mick Ryan - UKClimbing.com:
306 views of the thread (so far) and no bidders on ebay??? Now, what does that tell us.....

Sxx

In reply to Sarah G:
We've all got big feet?

In reply to Sarah G: and you know what they say about people with big feet?

In reply to Glyn Jones:

They're good swimmers?

In reply to Mick Ryan - UKClimbing.com:

Christ, if they go into production and my work ranges them, i'll quit!

I think i've just given them a way of getting rid of me.

In reply to Mick Ryan - UKClimbing.com:

Hmmmmm chavtastic!

In reply to Mick Ryan - UKClimbing.com: Ummm. Mick? That's a commercial sale, no charity link whatsoever...

I thought it wasn't allowed to do that sort of thing on here?

Anyway, they are tacky. Gold is SO 1980s.

TTG

In reply to O Mighty Tim:

sorry but anything gold that looks 80´s in SO in!!

I would get them but size 4!! what a shame.

Sam

In reply to O Mighty Tim: >Anyway, they are tacky. Gold is SO 1980s.

I think what you meant to say is they're f^%$ng UGLY !

In reply to Mick Ryan - UKClimbing.com:

hmm... think I'll stick with my banana Katanas...

In reply to Glyn Jones:


They smell more?

Sxx

In reply to Mick Ryan - UKClimbing.com:

apparently a chalk bag is to follow with a compartment for tampons and tiny pet dogs. oh, and it'll look sexy.

In reply to Mick Ryan - UKClimbing.com:

In reply to simes303:

In reply to Mick Ryan - UKClimbing.com:

But what's she ever done on grit?

In reply to Mick Ryan - UKClimbing.com:

"To find the right measurement please go
a size and a half UP in your street shoe size"

Surely the hardcore go DOWN a size and a half?

In reply to Chris F:
I think they're selling them as fashion shoes, so they're telling people to add on a size and a half, otherwise they won't be able to go clubbing in them without dying of pain by 10 p.m.?

Not surprising then taht no one is buying, you'd need little size 2.5 footsies...

In reply to Mick Ryan - UKClimbing.com:
"buy me loose for multi use"
surely they are not seriously any more than a fasion item.
That said I know a few kids in the school goups who would be queing up to get a pair!!

In reply to Mick Ryan - UKClimbing.com: why ae we so irritated by this range of shoes? don't people have the right to climb in burberry rock shoes?

In reply to Tobias at Home:


Uhhhhh....I just put a bid in!

I like them....well I'm sure my daughter will.

In reply to Mick Ryan - UKClimbing.com:


ifind that hard to believe mick. i'm sure you've brought her up better than that. hell, i bet she even talks about the Peak.

In reply to Mick Ryan - UKClimbing.com: i've no idea what eithe of those are and i wouldn't want to tell anyone how to raise their child...however, just remember these are her formative years...

In reply to Tobias at Home:

When they go out into the wicked wild world....and all that peer pressure....you do lose some control.

In reply to Mick Ryan - UKClimbing.com:

get them for her - she might be able to flog them as 'vintage stella mccartney' in a few years to help pay for college!

In reply to CJD: i still want to know what rubber they'vemade the soles out of. i might take back some of my criticism if it turns out to be stealth.

In reply to Tobias at Home:

and if it *is* stealth, I want feetfirst to start offering resoles with pretty patterns

In reply to Mick Ryan - UKClimbing.com: Is it just me, or are they the least sexy or feminine shoes in the world? they're brown, dirty looking, ugly shaped, and with stupid laces which seem to have been draped randomly over the shoes-there are far more attractive shoes on the market. Or maybe I'm just bittter they don't do them in my size....
Sam

In reply to Mick Ryan - UKClimbing.com:

I really really like them and I might bid even though they will not fit me!

You guys just have no taste.

In reply to pottsworth:


They're a version of one of the shoes from the Salomon range that never appeared, resprayed by Stella.

I don't know about the rubber though

I wonder if they are made from any animal products?

In reply to Mick Ryan - UKClimbing.com:

I expect to see the yoga numpties at the Kazzle sporting them soon.
