Amazing for Cracks

By Ranked #516 - Climbing Shoes October 27, 2008

I got these little guys before my trip to Moab and Devils Tower and I was so impressed. The rubber on them are absolutly amazing as they stick to anything really. I was also amazed how well they edged and how comfy they were (you know...relativly speaking.) My only complaint is the heel around the leather digs in beyond belief at first. Luckly I broke them in at Moab and not the tower. I just folded the pull tabs inside the shoe so it wouldn't dig into my achilles. Needless to say, my first day with them my heels were a bloody mess, but once they broke in they were perfect. Needless to say, I will give it a 5 because break-in time shouldn't go against it.

Happy Climbing

So true the heals really are a pain to break in. Pull tabs are a great trick. I found that taping your heal is also a must. I wear a 9 in Dragons and Teams. Bought this shoe in a 7 1/2 fit perfect out of the box can't wait to shove my foot in a juicy crack!
