Mammut Blaze Lace Edge

Advantages: Very Comfortable, great allrounder, velcro closure system
Disadvantages: Not the most technical shoe, the dye runs.

...This is more of a follow-up to my review of the standard Red Chili Spirits (http://sports.ciao.co.uk/RedChiliSpiritReview5643275) as I bought these after my lace up Spirits wore out. I found the Lace up shoes to be very comfortable while still offering ample ability, but fancied the quick on/off advantage of the Velcro Spirit. Here's what the manufacturer has to say about the shoe: - ImpactZone EVA heel shock absorber - Velcro triplex tension control - Easy on and off - Asymmetric last with comfort fit - Performance fit heel - Precision edging - Graduated midsoles - Red - UK sizes 2-12 "Built for bouldering and sport, both inside and outside, but with enough power for towers, the Spirit Velcro ImpactZone targets a wide range of fun. For quick on and offs, technical ups and jump-offs, the convenience... Read review

Advantages: Great style, great design, three different insoles!!
Disadvantages: If you are a school kid, your school may not let you wear them because of the blades

...are on the pitch. People say that a lot of the time, players can be recognised by the other players on the same team just by looking at their feet, and this is definitely the case with these boots, because they stand out so much. There is a thick blue line that runs round the back of the boot, towards the middle, then under the boot to the underside where it continues onto the other side of the boot. There are three lines on the tongue of the boot, (well if you can call it a tongue). This is the Adidas logo. There are also three lines on the very back of the boot, on the edge of the cup where you place you feet. Overall, the looks of the boots is great, they are one of the best looking pair of boots around, even after two years of been released! DESIGN The F50's have a very technical design. In fact they were the first boots to start... Read review

Advantages: Comfortable, relaxed environment, nice staff
Disadvantages: Poor management, verrry pricey

...Nice, friendly staff, personal trainers are really good- put you at ease and know what they are doing. Really good selection of classes, machines and weights. Cleintelle is not to young, skinny and gorgeous- nice mix to not make a new gym goer feel too intimated- a lot of people over 50 infact. Feels like a country health club more than a city slicker gym- which I- as a 25 year old girl really like. Near empty during the day and not busy at weekends. Gets very busy straight after work, hard to get a machine. However a bit tatty at the edges- curtains in changing rooms often coming loose- swimming cossie dryer out of order, tiles in pool area coming loose- not replaced for ages- in fact whole pool area- despite great potential with lovely 20/25 metre pool, Jacuzzi, steam room and sauna- is when compared to other clubs like Wandsworth...
