Solid Gambits

By Shane O'Donnell Ranked #5 - Climbing Shoes October 30, 2009

Pretty solid all around shoe. It edges kind of good, but the Onyxx rubber really excels at smearing in this shoe. I can tell a difference from other Stealth shoes I have tried, but it might just be because it is slightly softer in the sole, for a better bend and catch of the rock. They don't push my toes together too hard, which is why I don't think they are really edging shoes at all, but with the fairly pointy toebox, they do toe-in great. The ones I tried, and the ones my buddies climb in don't seem to be having the durability/peeling off of rubber problems that others have had, so I'm going to go ahead and say that they will hold up to quite a bit of abuse, 2 full summers now for one guy I know.
