Adidas Barcelona fencing shoe

[Highfield]

Hello fellow fencers! I wonder if anyone would know where I could purchase a pair of Adidas Barcelona fencing shoes in a UK mens size 8 (US 9/EUR 42). I can't seem to find a pair at all via the search engines which I a shame as they appear to be one of the better style available. I've tried to contact Adidas but they flatly refuse to answer any email messages regarding this. Thank you!

Best wishes,

Highfield

PS Duellist in the UK have a limited quanitiy of these in smaller sizes only.

Those have been out of production for at least the past 8 years.

I doubt that you will be able to find them.

Actually some stores in France (Escrime-Diffusion, the store in Lyon, not the one in Paris) still has some pairs available, at least they did about a month ago. They were on sale at their display at the French National Epee circuit in Strasbourg, but I can't remember the price.

If I remember correctly, they had both hi-tops and lo-tops versions.

Here is their contact information:
Email : info@escrime-diffusion.com

Thank you for the replies chaps and thank you very much for the information Veeco. I've sent them an email message in the hope that they still have them availableand that they are prepared to send them to the UK.

Best wishes,
