Pretty sticky, with a specific shape

By fox3171792 Ranked #1312 - Climbing Shoes August 24, 2009

These are quite nice to climb with for their edging and stickiness.

My foot shape has a high arch, is not too wide or narrow, and my 2nd toe is a bit longer than my big toe. So, these shoes are not really well suited to the foot shape that I have, as they have a lot of saggy empty space in the arch and inside foot area, and the toes are scrunched up a little too much for my liking.

I've only climbed in these a few times, so hopefully they will mold a bit better to my feet with use. The materials and construction should allow that to happen.

BTW, the laces are really long so you will end up with lots of tail on the knots. There's enough lace to wrap around the entire mid-foot if you like which can help with the saggy arch, but it means that the laces are more prone to getting damaged.
