... support for edging small holds on slightly overhanging routes and beyond, but going dead vertical on the same features begged for more stiffness. The sensitivity wasn’t on par with recently released super-soft shoes, but I found the compromise between stiffness and sensitivity well-suited for a wide array of intermediate-to-advanced sport climbing and bouldering.

... the Otaki is well suited towards hanging around on small holds/edges (i.e. trad climbing) or using even smaller edges to move quickly and efficiently upwards to the lower-off (i.e. sport climbing). The stiffness and support that the boot offers makes it quite versatile, particularly for the UK climber, as it is well suited towards a wide variety of different angles from edgy slabs, through vertical walls, to gently overhanging terrain.

The Solution is a surprisingly versatile shoe. Though they look like robot hawk talons designed to catch giant mutant squirrels from the future, they're actually pretty comfortable... When a pitch demands a few jams in a flair or a short crack section, the solutions are more than up to the task, excelling in finger cracks and flares thanks to their low toe profile. View more
The Ozones are an excellent 'jack of all trades' shoe. They're stiff enough for edging, have enough flex for smearing, and whilst they are really comfortable they fit precisely enough for heel hooks and other technical shenanigans. View more
Right out of the box I loved the way the Shakra fit. The shoe’s design positions your toes for high performance without the pain of having to downsize. A pronounced bump curved up under my toes filled dead space and gave me a secure fit, while the Knuckle Box created space for my big toe to bend. The Evolv Shakra is a moderately downturned, asymmetric shoe delivering both performance and comfort. View more
Whenever I need to stand on tiny little nothings, I'll reach for the Katakis. View more
The stiffness of the sole means that you can hang out on tiny edges for a long time without exhausting your feet and calves. Also, the stiff rubber soles provide enough surface area on small holds to inspire confidence, even on the smallest footholds out there. View more
The Butora Narsha kills it in the edging game and easily earned the best edging score of the test category. The stiff 4 mm thick Neo Force rubber combined with a full, rigid, injection molded midsole, and precise fit allows confidently loading micro edges, especially on slightly overhanging sport routes and boulders.

... built like tanks and $35 less expensive than TC Pros. If you don't mind suffering through the long break in period, you'll be rewarded with a very durable shoe that resoles well... We'll keep climbing in the Alturas, since the more they break in and the better they feel, becoming more precise over time as they soften up. View more
