Multipitch climbing shoes for the ladies
|
I'm on a search for a new pair of Multipitch climbing shoes for this upcoming season. I want something comfortable for a full day of climbing and I want to be able to trust that they can edge on small holds. The La Sportiva TC Pros seemed perfect, but the smallest size they sell is a 39 (I'm in need of a 37). Any suggestions?? |

Mythos. |

Mythos are great, I swear by those shoes. I'll probably always have a pair. They are great for long days at the crag on more moderate climbing. Also my go to for crack climbs, anything where I'll be smearing (frictiony granite), and long multi pitches. I've had two pairs, and several women I have climbed with use them also as their all around shoe. The only thing is I have never had to climb super thin stuff in my mythos, for that I go to my Evolv Shamans but you don't want to where those for a full day. |

Sportiva says they go down to 33 . . . size 37 (and others) for 25% off - gearexpress.com/la-sportiva… |

Fairly good reviews, I am considering them, but already have enough pairs of tc pros. Butora makes other models that might be better, these are closest to the tc pro, though, from what I can tell. Mythos are not good at edging (too floppy), though they are comfortable.Great shoe. I climb everything in mine |

I've used Scarpa Lady Techno for years and love them for trad/alpine. They are low profile so fit in small cracks, slighted padded, stiff for cracks and edges, comfy lacing system... Mine are older and leather, but I think the new models might have more synthetic material. |

These are all perfect, thanks y'all! Exactly what I need to find a reliable set of Multipitch shoes for this upcoming season :) |

I ended up ordering multiple pairs of the TC Pros and the Scarpa Women's Techno X, and I ended up going with the Technos. They fit beautifully, great lace up system, stiff sole and good for edging. And although I've only tried them on a couple of sports routes so far (and traversing around my kitchen) I think they will fit my needs perfectly for multi-pitch climbing. Thanks again for all the input! |
