    Viktoria Fencing Shoes

    I am in the market for new fencing shoes. I was wondering does anyone have a pair of the Viktoria low comps? If so, what is your opinion?

    Thanks in advance

    Had a pair 2-yrs ago, didn't last me very long (I think 3-4 months with use 3x/week). even more pricey comparatively to the other fencing shoes available out there given that we usually have to import them from England, or from Italy directly. But as you may have seen from searching this forum, shoes, like everything else, is subject to a wide variety of individual opinions. Good luck!

    They look NICE!!! But paying for them from the U.S. means we have to pay out the wazoo

    on eBay, someone is selling Viktoria's for under $40 USD though it may not be the size you want.
