No idea to answer your original question, but in the interest of debate... It puzzles why they sell rock shoes in pairs given that a) nobody has matching feet, b) rock shoes require a precise fit, c) they are very easily made as an individual item and d) they would be easily to sell singly (ala ice axes, which are invariably used in a pair and sold individually). Anyone get any idea why they're sold in pairs, or is it simply inertia?

It has been tried by various companies over the years and if it was the answer then I'd imagine all other companies would have followed suit. 'One Sport' was one of those companies - don't even know if they still exist. They made the very popular Resin Rose in the 80s. Nowadays the French company Andrea Boldrini in Romans will make odd sized pairs for you for a small supplement. I bought a 41/42 pair from them last year. Shame I don't like them!
