I disagree with the solutions having a decent heel for heel hooking. I think they're generally crap at heel hoking evn though they're my favorite shoe.On any marginal placement they're rubbish. They have a hard heel cup that doesn't mold at all.
I didn't say they were good overall, just that they are good on painful spikes.
Personally I don't like the vibram rubbers, all the 5.10 rubbers (apart from mystique) I've found to be superior to any of the vibram rubbers. Saying that, enough people smash out hard problems in them so you can't argue with results.
I found the Sparpa VS to be a bit wide for me but I get the impression that the shoe would suit a high volume, wide foot better than my weird shape feet.
i hate this thread.
The boostics were certainly a (well made) pile of shite.

What makes you say this? A read a few online reviews saying they were they best thing ...like EVA!
the boostics are anything but stiff
Could we perhaps keep shoe cussing or recommendations to shoes we have actually used, rather than just tried on in the shop and decided were shit?!
