JohnK,
You've attached a link to Bogong, therefore I'm really hoping you bought them there.
There seems to be a plague of climbing shoes/boots that are too small (posted on Chockstone) that are looking for new owners.
I'm betting people are buying on-line and getting it wrong, the only thing worse than this is trying them on at a shop (eg Bogong) then buying on-line.
I know it is tempting to save some $'s by doing this, but in the end it is false economy if they don't fit.
Support your local shops, otherwise they might not exist in the future (eg Snow Gum)

I agree in principle jdb, often when buying online you only end up saving a few bucks once postage and currency conversion are factored in. However, I reckon these boots are an exception as they normally retail for a few hundred dollars more here than overseas. Also not being a very popular item they are rarely on sale. Gearing up for mountaineering is expensive as hell and that few hundred dollars can pretty much equate to having a new ice axe as well!

More than 200 views - winter is coming - someone must be interested in these! Bump!
p.s. boots were tried on in the shop for nearly an hour - they just proved a bit too tight for long days that's all.

Bump. Still available.
With the low OZ dollar these are retailing for $749.00 here in OZ and $510.00 USD in the US plus shipping.
Will put them on ebay if no one grabs them.

I can vouch for John being a solid and ethical climber, and while I'm positive he's seriously unhappy about having to take a huge hit on these shoes, we can now focus on John teaching me to aid climb at Mt Buffalo!

My normal shoe size is size 10. But with boots its also about the width of the front part of your foot.
