They will perform really nicely for all around climbing or long trad if you go down 2 full sizes and break em in with a few good gym sessions. Beginners always get shoes too big and end up swimming in em after they stretch.

Are they both board-lasted or slip-lasted, or are they different?Vasily Kuznetsovnoreply@blogger.com
