Hi everyone!

I hand make leather ankle pads that slip on under your climbing shoes, turning them into high tops. Born and tested in Vedauwoo Wyoming, the Voo Shoe protects your ankles from getting THRASHED! I got tired of bloody ankles myself and didn't like the fit or price tag of TC pros, so I came up with this solution and they work great! They are made with cowhide leather and lined with wool. Would you like a pair? Email me at j.bowen1529@gmail.com. They go for $30 which includes shipping. Sizes are small/medium and medium/large.

Genius! I'm so tired of the voo eating my ankles alive in my backup shoes. I may need to pick up a pair when my tc pros go in for a resole... how much for local pickup?

It is $25 for local pickup

My uncle Melvin would like more photos. He doesn't climb, but he really likes your feet. He also thinks you should go with black leather.

Tell your Uncle Melvin I'm flattered!

Finally tried these out. They work great and are comfortable. I actually forgot I had them on and forgot to take them off between routes. No hotspots, chafing, or other issues. Since TC pros don't fit my feet well, and I likegetting on OW these will turn any shoe into a high top.  Nice product, and JB seems easy to work with.  

Get em before he realizes he can charge more!
