You got teams and then dragons as your first pairs of climbing shoes ever?!
Yeah I pushed the boat out when I bought my first shoes
I can't go back to flat climbing shoes now hahaha.
Because down-toed boots are suitable for everything, right?

Sasquatch, what kind of flat climbing shoes do you use and for what type of climbing?
P.S. if you're one of those uber-wads who suddenly climbs 7B in less than a year, ignore all that and get something downturned...
You could have a go on the Blackwings.
Does 7B in just over 14 months count?
Understand, it's not just the 'downturned' aspect of such shoes that I find fit my feet better but also the global tendancy for such shoes to conform to my feet well, offer lots and lots of sensitivity and have a really well developed toe box. I'm not saying all of my shoes should be downturned because "I'm a f*cking beast and only climb roof problems over 8a" hahaha.
Sorry if these sounds rude Krymson, but is your current goal not to climb 11? (I presume this is AUS 11?) You should be able to do that in a pair of house slippers!
hmm well I actually meant I was leading 5.11s and projecting 12s, not 5.4s and 5.5s . Sorry for the grade confusion.
