modded velcro

Lately the dreich weather up North has been forcing me to twiddle my thumbs alot. I also needed to clear out some shoes so some old daescents of mine volunteered as donors  after having a horrific bandsaw accident. a new set of anasazi velcros became the grateful recipient to create this awesome shoe. Now any fan of the velcro will know their only weakness is their uppers, as toehooking and scumming used to hurt and it'd wreck the cowdura fast. The trouble is that the shoes are so great for everything else that i end up wearing them all the time, so hopefully these shoes will work well to bust out on the specifics. I've lost my kneebar pad too in the last 2months somewhere so i made another one quick smart, and its actually far better than the last. Another old velcro saved from the bin!

This.

To this in 10 mins and for about 50p, it works as well as any other kneebar pad i've used on boulders.
