Theory

I switched to these for my comp sessions and the sensitivity on small footholds is honestly wild. I can feel exactly where my toe is on the wall, which has completely changed how I trust my feet on overhangs.

These are the most responsive shoes I've climbed in — the sensitivity is unreal. I can feel the shape of every hold through the sole before I commit. Downturned and stiff enough for steep comp routes, yet they smear surprisingly well.

Toeing in on tiny edges feels almost unfair now, the sensitivity is that direct. I sized down half a size for comp days and they broke in after two sessions.
