Great for except when these are not!

By hasan adil Ranked #309 - Climbing Shoes March 20, 2011

These are the only shoes I climb with, gone through a couple of pairs now. I get to climbing single pitch routes almost all the time and these shoes are awesome. I have wider feet and they have the perfect arch, edging etc.

Just back from long trip in red rocks where these shoes were on only really long climbs like crimson 1000ft, group therapy 800 ft and these shoes were absolutely horrible. My toes went numb from the pain. These are not the shoes for long sustained routes. Even with the straps open they were bad. So if you want to climb long trad routes, try something else...
