I've managed to get hold of the new FiveFinger TREKS from the US for under £100. The Treks won't be available in UK until next year and they will be priced at around £160-£200, so it will still be cheaper to buy this way.

First thing you need to do is register with shopUSA. How this works, is that they provide you with a delivery address in the US. You order something and have it dispatched to this address. They will then forward it on to you for a fee (which they don't take until they dispatch). The best bit is, that although you pay a fee, its far far less then paying all the duty etc you normally would have to.

Then email Anne Fekete ([email protected]) at GSS Gear. They provide gear for military and government agencies, but you won't find the Treks on their website. All you need to do is email Anne and she will help you with the order from there. She's very helpful and provides great customer service. If you mention my name (Terry Conway), it should help with the process.

You should receive your new TREKS around 10 days after payment

I paid $145 in TOTAL, which works out at around £90! I can't promise you it will be that cheap for everyone, GSS Gear gave me an amazing discount due to who I work for. Any questions, PM me.
