I had a pair of Gollies in 1972. They were the most flexible climbing shoes around at the time and had
more friction than any of the others such as EB's, PA's or RD's. They remind me of modern shoes in
that smearing, not edging or crack climbing was the only way to get the best out of them.

They were blue suede shoes. Not bad climbing lyrics either!

Well, its one for the money,
Two for the show,
Three to get ready,
Now go, cat, go.

But dont you step on my blue suede shoes.
You can do anything but lay off of my blue suede shoes.

Well, you can knock me down,
Step in my face,
Slander my name
All over the place.

Do anything that you want to do, but uh-uh,
Honey, lay off of my shoes
Dont you step on my blue suede shoes.
You can do anything but lay off of my blue suede shoes.

You can burn my house,
Steal my car,
Drink my liquor
From an old fruitjar.

Do anything that you want to do, but uh-uh,
Honey, lay off of my shoes
Dont you step on my blue suede shoes.
You can do anything but lay off of my blue suede shoes.

(Carl Perkins 1955)
