Hello everyone, I was wondering if anybody could help me identify some old climbing gear? I inherited a bunch of gear and have no idea what it is and its value. For starters I found a pair of Climbing shoes with Innsbpucker Kletter Super on the soles. Couldnt really find much info on these. Thanks!

Climbing shoes from the 1960s.
Could be Kronhoffers, Voyager Directissima, etc.

(Voyager Directissima, sole is slightly different)

Ok Thanks guys for the info. They are size 8 i think. Sorry. What about these ones? I'm assuming they are old ski boots given the front section has a metal piece. They are Raichle made. On ebay it's hard to find any Raichle that are this old. Thanks

Those klettershoes might be Cortinas by the pattern on the soles. Can you make out the raised area on the instep?

I have a mint condition pair of Kronies at home and I will see if the soles match.

I'd guess the Raichle ski boots are circa 1940's.

I'm a size 8! And I need to replace mine the soles are worn out.
Seriously ~ I have a hoard and can't justify the purchase, but they are sweet. Are they New?
How much are you asking ?
