Great Boots for the right foot type

By Thomas Gibson Ranked #335 - Rock Climbing Shoes August 30, 2009

At first loved them and they are good but---not my foot. I have a very high arches, stiff ankle, little dorsal movement. Coming down steep slopes I could not lock the heels down, hence toes hit the front. I think that the material used to make the boot is too soft and moved with my foot vs locking it down. Never had this problem with the Makalu. Boot is stiff yet enough rocker that they were comfortable carrying 50+ Lbs for the 38 mile trip. Great 3-4 class climbing as they are nice and light weight. Too as someone else noted a little of the toe cap rubber came unglued. Not good as more may follow? Would I recommend these boots? Yes for some one with a flexible medium foot width and normal arch.
