New pads for spurs?

I checked them out on Arbsession. They're cheaper than the velcro wraps and the replaceable pads come in at $14. Add in some upper straps and It's a done deal. I like that.

You kill me.

Thats a really cool pic. Love the time worn gear. An aged look of excellence. The Hobbs has served some duty.

Had these Mallorys for over 40 years. Still my favorites after all these years. These are the narrow version and they fit my crack smokin' emaciated chicken legs like nothing else...

That's the difference, you have chicken legs and i have drumsticks for calfs. Is that a Blair saddle?

The regular sized Caddy's will fit a pretty large calf...

Late to the game on this one. Stein/Climb Right make an aluminum pad with replaceable velcro inserts. They cost a little more, but are super durable and make old steel bucs “feel” light. I have a set on Bashlins, and other climbers who pick them up always do a double take at how light they are.

Like @oldoakman , I don’t have the right ergonomics for the Opsals in any size.

I have pretty tall slim legs. I thought the small size Caddies would be the one for me - no way. Just measured my calf at pad height today, 16" circumference.

This is a picture of my Caddie pads with about 10 years on the foam. I'm just now starting to think that some day - 5 years probably - I'll glue on that extra set of foam I bought.
