Probably the best mountaineering boots you could buy in the 70s and 80s. I still have the Terray Fitzroy and Super Guide RD's although they are looking a little mouldy.

Indeed they were - built like brick s%^&houses and about as heavy. But your feet were immune to the slings and arrows - as long as the fit was right

Yeah the fit was a problem as these were based on the european foot which is a bit narrower than the average British foot.

I can't imagine ANYONE having the right shaped feet for Super RDs. Mine crippled me. Did you know you can still get them? I saw half a dozen pairs in Au Vieux Campeur in Sallanches last year!

I had a pair of Super RD's and I found the fit was fine,it was just the weight of the things that crippled me

OK, anyone but you, Martin! Yes, they were really heavy too. Dreadful things!

...still got my RD's in the loft....bought in Grindelwald......only bettered by my Nepal Sportivas!

Burnt 2 pairs of super RDs on a open coal fire in Llanberis one winters night . Bit like a viking funeral , all that was left were the metal shanks.

Mine were the ones with the plastic toe caps. Very comfy once they were broken in - more comfy than my Nepal Extremes. It was the 'buzzy' fit with crampons that I always struggled with and the transition to plastic and clip on crampons was magical.

nniff, your RDs were Super Pro.
