Comfortable Climbing Shoes?

These shoes did not require much of a break in. Sized 1/2 size smaller than my Miuras, which took a month to break in. Great edging shoes. Have only used them in the bouldering gym so far.

Great All-rounder Shoe

I've been wearing this and the previous version of Katana Laces for ~8 years and they're good for everything, except heel hooks. A few random thoughts: * Size down .5 to 1 size from old katana laces * These shoes will bleed black dye if you wash them, just fyi * Not great if you love toe hooks

Great For Small Edges Outside

Very impressed with these thus far. My feet feel stable and like they will stick to anything outside. Very comfortable on small edges. The best edging shoe I've tried to date for outdoor climbing. They also preformed well on slab and felt quite sticky. I don't like these so much for indoors.

Great Shoes

These shoes perform well in many different styles. I found the standout to be edging. Their precision helps make them feel rock solid and they're super comfortable for how aggressive they are.

Sticky And Stiff ;D

Purchased about a month back and have been climbing pretty heavily in them. Done a few four hour indoor sessions now without taking them off after they've started to break in. These things edge like no body's business. I'm a fan of the laces over velcro as I can pull the top tighter around my ankle. I've gone outdoors with these once since purchasing and they shred just as well on real rock as they do plastic.
