Boulder X to replace my old cirque pros

By ANDREW McLauchlin Ranked #72 - Rock Climbing Shoes January 23, 2011

The Boulder X is exactly what i was looking for when I ordered my cirque pros back in 07. The Vibram sole is the #1 best upgrade to the shoes. The styling is much better and the inside is so much more cushy. They still have the nice solid feel of the cirque pros. The improvements to the shoes I couldn't have done better my self. It is like as if La Sportiva read my mind while I was going through my pair of cirque pros. I got these things right before I made a trip to Puerto Rico and these things worked great. They hooked up great on every thing from guano covered cave floors to the slippery slimy wet rocks in El Yunque rain forest. The sole on the old cirque pro I wouldn't have trusted in so much mud, but the new Vibram sole hooks up just as good on the mud as it does on rock slabs. Very impressed with this awesome shoe.
