'Tiva Barracudas

By Lyric Rosatti Ranked #83 - Climbing Shoes June 16, 2009

These shoes are as good of shoe as I've worn. They hold on ridiculously tiny edges and smear like a champ. The sensitivity is moderate, but I don't mind that so much since it doesn't hurt as bad to put all your weight on a tiny little pin of a rock. These shoes have taken everything Montana has thrown at them so far. They are stiff, agressive, and reliable.

Some people complain about laces, but the asymetrical laces are fast cinch this shoe nicely to your foot. Besides, how much longer does it take to tie a shoe...

On the sizing, I have these in a 41.5 and I wear a 9-10 US street shoe.

Also, as stated by another reviewer, these shoes don't seem to stink. And I don't think they get too hot.

The 'cudas rock, end of story.
