wishing the comparasion to the old but best model sg2.
Thank you so much Jeff for the great review as always. For the vast majority of us RTR is an unavailable ressources of information. But you always find grouchy people unable to appreciate the effort of the others (I see that in my job as well...). Imagine, you may provide a beautiful picture of the so awaited SG5 in front of a chicken and receive complaints !!! What kind of world is this?
I am in the thinking of the next long distance mountain running show for this spring. I will be SG5, or Scarpa Spin infinite or LaSportiva Akasha II. Cogito!
Greetings from snowy Switzerland! Antoine.
This new shoe model is very beautiful, from the color to the style I love it
