Looking for anyone who has got hold of a pair of the new comp shoes, I've tried the usual, BF, V12 and Joe Brown, but none have stock.
"Scarper Gecko, our latest competition shoe is essentially a sticky version of the incredibly popular Instinct VS, it uses the same last and rand as the VS for high levels of sensitivity and accurate foot placements. The Gekko has a semi-aggressive profile will work well at any angle but will still allow you to pull in on holds when on overhanging terrain.
The use of a softer mid-sole and carefully harvested gekko moult skin makes for a more all round performance on smooth, shiny, no- grip textures.
A Lorica upper means greater flexibility and durability but it will also hold its shape better than leather and a combination of an elasticated slipper system and a velcro closure holds your foot securely in place."
Somebody must have had a go in these, maybe they'd work on peak limestone too?
