Slightly downturned shoes

Hi Mountain project, |
|
Boostics are great if you have a wider foot. |
|
If you are looking at the Jeckyl VS your price range is already pretty high so I would highly recommend looking at the Scarpa Feroce. They have a lot of toe power but aren't too aggressive which is pretty hard to accomplish. Try them on if you ever get a chance. They feel incredible. The most powerful feeling medium angle shoe I've worn. |

These work. If you do not know your size, i would go same as the tarnatulas. These are slightly aggressive, all around shoe. Can't beat the price. If the link does not work, just go to Amazon and search for Stonelands. |

You said yourself that you still need to work on technique. If your feet are still skating all over the rock like a cartoon, then don't waste your money on nice or expensive shoes. Get the cheapest ones you can find and work on precise footwork. |

Great advice really. Maybe go with a stiffer shoe until your feet build up the muscles. You will get more mileage out of a stiff beefy shoe while you clunk and toe drag about. |

Www.evolvsports.com they have a big clearance section. Check out the Geshido or the primes |
|
Alright, So what shoes should I look at? |
|
go to a store, try em all on and find the pair that fits best |

Scarpa Vapors. |

I'll agree with jbrown2. The velcro Geshido are great, got 'em for 85$ on a clymb sale. If you do get them, they run small; by half a size to a size, even compared to my other Evolves. |
