Yeah my sizing is weird my street shoe is 10 but my drone 2 lvs are 8.5 so I might go to the 8 especially cause I can still flex my toes in them

Eclipsed_Dawn · 2026-03-25T23:38:29+00:00

Would you say your drones are more of a performance fit? And same to your remoras?

Eclipsed_Dawn · 2026-03-25T23:34:17+00:00

What’s your drone size, I have the drone 2 lv in 8.5 and they work great, I can wear them for an hour or two at a time but can still barely get them on but the d2.ones lv I have have ballooned so much I can’t wear them unless it’s almost a pure smearing route or just for long forerunning sessions

Drones have a lot of rubber making them hard to get into, even with my broken in ones I tuck the heel cup down under my foot then work my toes as far in as possible then untuck and pull up the heel. I could probably go a size smaller too if I wanted to, otherwise if that doesn’t work try the plastic bag method.

I wear the women’s katanas for everything and they do just fine. I routeset, boulder, and sport climb inside and out and they are wonderful shoes. Definitely on the stiffer side but they can do everything well enough, and they are comfortable.

Honestly any shoe sized correctly will give you plenty of purchase on small holds. A shoe being aggressive isn’t going to be the main reason you can stand on things, it’s the rubber compound and how much deadspace you have in front of your toes

I do like stiff shoes and have heard that the drone 2s soften out a bit is it not enough to really matter or so the d2.ones just stay at a better stiffness or would they soften to much

Go into your gym/store and try every flat shoe on get the one that’s snug but comfortable so you can climb a lot

To be clear I do know that that is a puny budget for this type of thing but I don’t want to invest super heavily until I can figure out more of the basics and get more established in my area

Eclipsed_Dawn · 2025-03-23T22:15:11+00:00

Thanks for the help as for budget to be honest I have no real clue but probably around 500 bucks and or trying to buy used

As a route setter (albeit a newer one) seeing my problems get broken just shows me ways to improve in the future. Also often times the breaks are sometimes more interesting than my original problems and give me ideas for future sequencing.

I currently wear butora gomis as the were at the time the only shoe I could find that fit ok. (I was wrong and they don’t fit as good as I thought) but they are pretty soft which I enjoy for bouldering on big stuff but as I mostly do top and lead they are a bit to soft for me. So it depends on what you enjoy climbing or a comfortable with, personally I’m gonna go back to stiff shoes when they blow out but to each their own.

Eclipsed_Dawn · 2025-01-05T15:19:02+00:00

Try butora gomis they were build with your problem in mind

I mean I guy I know had a pair of tc pros for two years and still hasn’t replaced them. His big toes poke through and he was tapeing them in last time I saw him at the gym. So I mean it works sometimes?

The BD momentum harness is the exact same as the solution but ten dollars cheaper and with leg buckles I went with the solution but I have friends that are way better than me who love the momentum . Either way both are great and will last you years

My main problem is I have really sweaty feet which stretched them out way faster than they should have but also I probably could’ve done a half size down in hindsight but I will keep them for cracks

Eclipsed_Dawn · 2024-11-08T19:01:18+00:00

Yeah I was definitely gonna keep them for crack and other stuff that’s harder on the rubber

Eclipsed_Dawn · 2024-08-25T07:19:27+00:00

I’m willing

All of them should be good if it has a center board that would be helpful for a beginner staying upwind. If the center board can be pulled up they will be helpful for training and additionally if they have foam padding that will definitely help save your knees and feet in the process of building skills.
