Husband loves Katana

By setageus1116241 Ranked #1392 - Climbing Shoes April 23, 2009

These are great shoes... My husband loves them. He does mostly traditional crack climbing and some sport, and loves them in any size crack and on face or even slab. It is a great all-arounder for him. Edges, points, sticks, flexes very well.
The one, though worthwile, drawback is the rubber soles wear out fast. He climbs every weekend and once in the gym during the week, and these shoes may not last a month before requiring resoles. He keeps buying new ones while getting old ones resoled. Also, the major local stores are closing them out... so it's nice to have an online supplier through Backcountry.
