Feeling in need of something to help with overhung problems which require serious heel work, I've picked up a new pair of La Sportivas at a solidly discounted price. I'd intended to try Katanas, but they didn't have any in my size, so I opted for a pair of Miura VSes instead:

They're a size smaller than my Tenayas although not quite as small as they look here: the Tenayas are old and thrashed, whereas the Miuras are new and aggressively down-turned in a way that shortens their apparent length.
I'm curious to see how I get on with them. I can't help feeling slightly intimidated: as though my current form isn't nearly good enough to justify quite such fancy shoes...
