lookin for some shoe advice
After 5 years of climbing on Scarpa Origins I am in the market for a new, solid, one quiver shoe. As much as I enjoy them and have found them good for the climbing I do I’ve found myself taking them off while being lowered and between every climb as they’ve gotten so uncomfortable. I have also gotten a little rusty after taking a couple months off and am trying to get back in the swing of things, which has made my shoes more painful and uncomfortable from lack of wear.
I tend to alternate between climbing mainly in the gym and then climbing only outside for periods of time. Sport climbing is my preferred style but I’ve been getting into bouldering the past two years. I really am wanting a shoe that does it all, that does not feel uncomfortable wearing for extended periods of time, and is more aggressive than my Origins. Also feels important to add I have fairly narrow feet.
I went around town and tried on Skwamas, Katanas, and Kubos but am also interested in Murias but have not had the chance to try them on but am open to any suggestions. All of the above shoes seem to fit the bill for what I’m looking for in a new shoe and are available with my pro deals. I’m pretty much looking for advice from you all for input that could push my decision over the edge so any and all input and advice would be greatly appreciated!
