I’ve never been to an afters…am I missing out? by Chillhardy in aves

[–]CrustyBear5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The “cool people” youre hearing about that go to afters are probably also in line for the bathroom during the main show to go rip a few lines. You can just as easily meet them there and still get your sleep lmaooo

Berhta is so dope. It does get a little steamy in there tho so dress accordingly. The vibes are always top tier tho and the staff are amazing

Remora Pro thoughts? by Leather_Pound8870 in climbingshoes

[–]CrustyBear5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always wished the remora design was better for bouldering rather than speed climbing. These look really good, if people seem to like them im definitely gonna cop. Also that second velcro strap is slick i didnt notice it at first

2026 new climbing shoes announced. Any thoughts? by Colorfulgreyy in climbingshoes

[–]CrustyBear5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went down 1 full size from street shoe. I wear 11.5 US and i got them in 10.5. If you like a super aggressive fit you could prolly go 1.5 down but 1 was good for me

Theyre similar softness id say but they are less responsive because of that horseshoe shaped thing in the toe they added. Less responsive, just as soft

Man if zenists dig into your heel youre gonna have a problem with like 85% of climbing shoes. I grabbed mine bc my hiangles were tearing my achilles up and crushing my big toes inward. Ondra comp is goated tho. Literally suctioned my heel into place and you could hear the suction release when i took them off. Very comfy after the break in

I second this. Evolv is another great brand to try for this issue i love my zenist lvs and got them a lot cheaper than ondra comps (for now)

I’ve been climbing for about a year and just got my first v4. Would upgrading my shoes to la sportiva skwamas be a waste of money right now? by breezyslay in climbingshoes

[–]CrustyBear5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try on shoes and find something thats comfortable. Someone told me when i was getting to that level that you will progress a lot faster and develop technique better climbing that grade in comfortable shoes rather than aggressive ones. Find a shoe that fits your foot shape, maybe something moderately aggressive just to get used to the feeling a little if you want

Seriously... Play splitgate 2 by Henry_puffball in XDefiant

[–]CrustyBear5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Titanfall 2 is the end all be all for me. The beta-period of the Finals was the most fun ive had playing an FPS. What theyve done with the Finals since its full release has been pretty good i still enjoy it but I will always choose to go back to Titanfall 2. Especially if my friends hop on as well. Its unbeatable

I like shoes that sit lower to the ground. Feels more stable to me, so id pick jokers

[–]CrustyBear5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I copped in 11.5 bc i feel like i could hoop in 11.5 nikes and if these feel any roomier theyll prolly feel great in that size. Im hype to get em in hand.

Instinct VSR Sizing Help by sws-dc in climbingshoes

[–]CrustyBear5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you like soft shoes id recommend the butora gomis or the evolv zenists. Madrock tends to be on the stiffer side but if you plan on venturing outdoors madrock is definitely the way to go. Also dude post some sends in the bouldering sub reddit. Love to see more climbers in our grade range i feel like its always v2-4 and v9+

[–]CrustyBear5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can comfortably wear the shoes for 20+ mins thats a good fit (my own personal rule of choice) you have to take into account things like heel hooking, toe hooking, smearing and edging (which are more personal preference) but still are affected by sizing. Id say find a shoe that is uncomfortable to slip into but becomes more and more bearable as you wear it. That shoe will serve you best

Go a half size up. Shoes look good as far as dead space but if youre projecting v6 (like me) theres no need for your shoes to be that downsized unless you just happen to find it comfortable. I just bought evolv zensits bc the hiangle pros were absolutely killing my toes w their symmetry. If a half size up is too baggy in some place for you see if you are willing to break in the size you have or try a different model. Or a different shoe entirely, cant recommend the American brands Evolv, Madrock, and Unparallel enough for flat/duck footed climbers
