25 yrs old never used climbing shoes! a friend gave them to me because it had sentimental value to him :)
Surprisingly the rubber is intact and flexible! can't read a size on it but after trying them I think it must be around 39-40 size. located in Melbourne. pick up or pay for postage.

Second the donate to the Rock Hardware museum...

Always wanted a pair of Firé shoes! Ended going with an oversized pair of Mikl's Scorpions which I still have somewhere.

... they too should be donated to a museum, as from Mikl's comments along they way about the commercially available Scorpions (compared to his extra sticky proto-type at the time), I doubt he'd want them given to him!

Hmm.
What's the go with the Rock Hardware Museum?
There is no mention of it on Steve's website, and I've not heard anything of it...

A while back I was chasing up an item for the Nuts Museum (in Corsica!), and received a pm alluding to a possible Aussie climbing equivalent getting started and thought I'd kept my ear pretty close to the ground in that respect (re future items it might want/could use), but the RHM slipped by me!

I gave him my pair of PA's bought in 1970 along with the screw gate and seatbelt webbing which replace the 5 wraps round the waist of No 2 laid rope.
Also a almost complete set of Mountain after no30 with a few before that
