I was scared. They didn't fail me.

By Cody Barnhill Ranked #580 - Climbing Shoes April 28, 2009

I bought these shoes about a month and a half ago not really sure how much I was going to be able to climb, and as would be expected I left town and haven't been able to climb but once since I bought them, until last week when I got in way over my head with my first real slab climb. I didn't realize until I had struggled my way to the first bolt that this might be a little above my abilities, but leaving gear behind is lame, so at least I needed to try to finish. These shoes provided some very much needed friction in very tight spots, I am definitely a fan. So far I haven't been able to find out about the overall durability, but functionally I back them 100%.
