    They're good for any pistol shooting sport where you have to stand ;). I can understand not wanting to buy them on the interspend, it's about proper fitting and feel.

    No is the short answer as far as I know. Unless demonloop has them up North in Intershoot?

    Drop him a pm and see.

    Edit: No need, here they are: http://www.intershoot.co.uk/acatalog/Footwear.html

    Now there's helpful for you :D

    Not cheap btw, £120 for Gehmann, £150 for Sauer :eek:

    Not cheap, but worth it at the higher levels.
    At lower levels, go to any skateboard shop and get skate shoes.

    Just be aware that shoes must not cover the ankle - shooting boots that are used in ISSF rifle are not acceptable in pistol comps;)

    Well, you get more support from the shoes, but it's not a horrible interim suggestion so long as they won't slide about on the floor.
    If they will, well, I used to shoot barefoot or in thin socks at one stage...

    Yeah, there aren't many firearms dealers I've no complaints about (in fact I can only think of two off the top of my head that I've used), and Ryan's one of them (Geoff's the other, obviously).

    Indeed.
    BTW, it's generally just the three dots in an ellipsis.
    Just sayin'.

    I can name a couple, but yeah, Geoff and Ryan really do offer exceptional service.
