Durabile and comfortable but lacks sticking power
11 months ago
After 1.5 years of climbing, I purchased these as my second pair to replace my beginner evolv defy. Have used them for 7 months 3x/week indoor only on climbs up to 5.11 and boulders up to V4. I'm 6' and 185lbs. Bought size 13 even though my street size is 11.5/12 and predictably had an excess of volume. the straps worked fine to cinch so no issues and my big toe and heel fit snuggly. Durability seems very good. The sole and upper and seems are all in great shape. My only complaint is the rubber. It's so durable as to have too little tackiness. I can't hold toe hooks or stick on smeers. Even my evolv defy were better at this. Except for this, the shoe would get a 5 but I basically need a different shoe just to reliably stay on V3 boulders and 5.10+ climbs.
