Pros Great edging capabilities, excels on thin cracks, great for multi-pitchingComfortable, sticky rubber, easy to put on, solid in cracksOutstanding for edging, precise, versatileComfortable, extremely sensitive, great for smearing and steep climbing, easy to get on and offSuper sensitive, comfortable for aggressive design, great for pocket climbing, good for heel hooking
Cons Expensive, leather uppers wear outStretch out quickly, expensive, lacks support for techy edgesFoot-specific fit, expensiveExpensive, No-Edge technology could be an acquired tasteExpensive, specific fit can be painful for some
Bottom Line This is a do-it-all workhorse that excels in all aspects of climbing, from difficult cracks to lower angle and techy face climbsAn impressive shoe for many styles, these slippers are the perfect combination of performance and comfortA technical climbing powerhouse, this shoe is perfect for crimpy limestone or long granite free climbsIf you let them, they may revolutionize your footwork; they'll take some getting used to, but are top notch for steep climbingThis model gets major props for steep climbing and bouldering thanks to its aggressive shape, precision, and comfortable design
