| Oooh, any way to see this new shoe? Will it be posted on the site around the time of US nationals? What company is that? Nike? Mizuno? What's the price like? Is it a high end shoe like Equipments or is it like a D'art?
I live far, far away from Sacramento.

| Sorry but you will have to wait untill our webmaster gets back from the USA Nationals.
However we beleive that the shoe will have a performance better than the equipment but at a similar price to the D'Artagnon. | |

| Here a review from one of the fencers who tested the new pre-production shoes
these shoes r amazing, i've had adistars and the grip on these Leon Paul / High Tech shoes is much better. These are by far the best fencing shoes i've ever had! | |

| You mean Leon Paul USA will actually have Leon Paul Equipment in this country? Wow, what a concept. Shocking even. A website maintained by an american with an american name with product from that website actually in america.
Or, will we see a laptop on a table that we can order the new stuff from London even though the website says USA but no actual product in the USA.
On a side note, am a touch surprised we don't get to pics yet of the stuff. Or is that what we will get at nationals, pics on a laptop of the USA site?
Very odd set-up you guys have chosen to work here. But oh well. Maybe some day someone in the USA will actually be willing to put up the money for Leon Paul equipment to be warehoused in the USA for less shipping time than from London ordered through the USA website. | |

| here is anothe review from a fencer who has been testing the new shoe
I got the shoes in febuary so i've had them quite a while now. I fence normally 4 times a week (not including comps). But i've also been wearing them to the gym, and i go once a week, when i do my fencing 2 of those times will be 4 hours at Truro Fencing Club, on Monday I have an 1.5 hour lesson, and wednesday i have a 1.5 hour lesson, then help Tigger coach kids at a school for an hour. So I wear them alot. I've fenced on basically any surface or sportshall you could think of and they have gripped every surface very well! At the BYC's I fenced on a Metallic piste and they gripped very well, i had bought a pair of Adistars about a month before the Hi-Tech shoes and the grip on the adistars was not as good as the new Leon Paul shoes, also within a month of fencing with the Adistars they were falling apart. The Leon Paul shoes' grip is still just as good as when I got them and basically no wear on them at all. They are great.
I've fenced with Dartang's, Equipments and Adistars, and none of them are as good as the new shoes! | |

We hold stocks in America which can deal with returns and incorectly sized equipment.
At the National we will have samples of the new shoe, we had hoped to have 100 for sale but we have been let down by a slipped production programme.
Pictures and full details will be made after the USA launch. | |

| So you partnered with Hi Tec? I used to love their squash shoes for fencing, until them became really difficult to find that particular model in the US.

| I'm also hoping that the shoe in question isn't the Hi-Tec fencing/casual shoe I've seen floating around on various websites? Looks like the D'arts?
