Anyone bought a pair yet?

Picked my new pair up from V12 this morning, love 'em!

Very slight differences, but feel just like the old ones woop woop

Do they feel a lot different from the pinks?

In reply to Greasy Prusiks:

I'm afraid I've never owned Pinks, old or new...

Lad in the shop reckoned they were quite close to the original Pinks.

In reply to jezb1:

Ah interesting.

Thanks for the heads up, I'll see if I can scrounge a go with a pair.

In reply to jezb1:

Looking forward to getting a new pair of them, I'll check out V12. Cheers.

In reply to jezb1:

I've just tried them on back to back with old whites, velcros and greens.

Old Whites, virtually the same
Velcros (10.5), Whites much more precise fit, stiffer
Greens (11.5), similar fit, Whites have a far better heal, stiffer.

In reply to jezb1:

Just checked V12 website and they aren't on yet........ You say they are virtually the same size. Did you get same size as your old ones?

In reply to Christheclimber:

They're still in the delivery boxes on the shop floor...!

Yep, same size and they feel exactly the same to be honest. You know what rock shoes are though..

In reply to jezb1:

Cheers, thanks for info

In reply to Christheclimber:

Pleasure

In reply to Christheclimber:

They've got them in Outside if you need a try on?

In reply to jezb1: Just read a review of the 'new' whites and they are described as " the most aggressive shoe in the Anasazi line". Given that they are as flat as a pancake and stiff as a board, what exactly do they mean by the term 'aggressive'. I would normally associate this term with extreme downturn and floppy smeary mid-soles. Is this just Adidas pretending to be the cool kid on the block using terms that don't make any sense ?

In reply to GravitySucks:

I guess they are aggressive compared to the other Anasazis but that's hardly saying much! They're more precise than the others, maybe that's what they're getting at?

It's not a term I'd use for them, especially when mine are currently sat next to a pair of Hi Angles..

In reply to jezb1:

This is good news....I'd actually stock piled a couple of pairs of the old whites that only ever really see slate so now I can use them more knowing when they become a bit floppy I can get some new ones

In reply to jezb1:

Re. the word "aggressive", after more thought I wonder if that refers to the heal, as it does pull your heal in tight, more so than my velcros for example.
