Uncomfortable, but Awesome

By sky Ranked #1856 - Climbing Shoes February 16, 2005

These shoes took a while to break in--and even when I did break them in, they were still fairly uncomfortable. But, on the upside, they have performed very well. They edge wonderfully; they have a still sole which holds its shape in a crack; the heels hold really well on odd bouldering heel hooks, the rubber sticks well on wherever I paste them. Even after I blew out the toe, these were still my choice for routes at my skill limit. I am more than willing to suck it & deal with the pain for the performance. My first pair delaminated 2 months after wearing them--I sent them to the manuf. & they promptly sent me a new pair, which has been great.
