OT.. Used La Sportiva rock boots x 4 pairs.

Posted on
  • Emptying my cupboards of rock boots i don't need anymore in varying states of wear. All owned only by me (only 1 set of sweaty feet rather than the grim who knows how many of hire shoes). Maybe good for people less toe-y than me. All could be patched/resoled. The folks at Vauxwall know someone local who do vibram patches.... I just have funny feet that don't seem to fit shoes after a few months use.. Based in Bristol and all prices inc postage to UK.

    Pair 1. La Sportiva Tarantula sz 42. worn through to fabric on toes. pics here.
    These are free, just cover postage of £3.40.

    Pair 2. La Sportiva Tarantula sz 41.5. Plenty of life left. Pics here.
    £15.

    Pair 3. La Sportiva Katana sz 42. heavy wear on toes. Pics here.
    £13

    Pair 4. La Sportiva Katana sz 42.5. Again, wear on toes but not through and still life in the rest of the shoe. Pics here.
    £15

  • paypal please..

  • damn, would be really interested but need to try them on....any way to meet in london some time?

  • Not until the end of april im afraid, and even then I'll be working like crazy so might be a pickle to make it happen. I know its not the best situation.

    For reference, im a 43 in sneakers. My 2nd toe is as long as my big toe, and my big toe is straight. These shoes are comfy for me shape wise, but feet and shapes vary wildly. You could try for shape/size in somewhere loike cotswold outdoor? They are likely to have the tarantula. And the katana is similar shape wish, just more aggressive..

  • ah shame...one of these would probably fit but not sure. they stretch with use so trying a new pair on is different too :(

  • Fair enough, I totally understand. Interestingly though, in my experience, they don't stretch, at least not in any way that makes them more comfy/looser for me. The 42.5 katanas are my current pair, but they have gotten tighter to the point they are too uncomfortable on me. This has happened with all my rock shoes after some time. Just bought a replacement pair in the same size. They'll be great for about 6 months then start to hurt again.. unusual apparently, but normal for me sadly.
