It's not the shoes

Mad Rock Flash Climbing Shoe - Men's

Mad Rock Flash Climbing Shoe - Men's

Rating for this product: 4 June 20, 2007

I decided a long time ago that there were more factors than the tightness of my shoes keeping me from performing on rock. The most glaring example is between my ears. So rather than experience numbness in my toes as I did with my first pair, I have tried to size my shoes so that there is not a noticeable performance deficit while maintaining relative comfort.
That said, it wouldn't make since for me to buy highly cambered, toe crunching, expensive shoes (designed for a style and grade of climbing I find as foreign as falafel). So if I can get a smokin' price on some sticky rubber that does what I need on sport and plastic (saving my Mythos for hopefully one more weekend of trad), I've got to be happy.
