Sportiva was having a shoe demo at RQ this week so I tried a pair of Testarossas and also Mantras. Both shoes were good but then someone who has been following this thread offered me a sweet deal on a slightly used pair of Anasazis in my size. OK Sportiva rep, people are waiting with baited breath to see which shoes Static buys. Got any sweet deals for maintaining a loyalty to Sportiva?

lordjim had recommended the Mad Rock Flash & I hadn't really thought much of it. Then I saw at the gym that Margarita & Renee were wearing them. So I asked them about the shoe and they said they really liked them. I took the lead from Margarita when I bought my first pair of Miuras. Now I have to find some place that stocks them so I can try them out?

Though not all retailers have all the lines.

Since I'm heading to Arizona for a week in a few weeks I'm looking out there.
Screw you guys. I'm going bowling.
