Title: Shoes for Font!!
Post by: oyyou2 on August 05, 2009, 11:16:14 am

Hi,

I'm planning a trip to Font in October and wondered if anyone has a recommended shoe?? One that works particularly well in Font?

I currently climb in Five Ten Jet Septs.

Thanks in advance

Basically whatever technical shoe you already wear that is comfortable enough to spend a long amount of time in.  Velcro is handy as it means you can slip your shoes on and off quickly between problems/tries.

If you're planning on working specific problems it would probably be handy to have a few pairs broken in though, some soft shoes for smeary stuff and some stiff shoes for edging type problems.

Thanks, got another pair of jet septs ready to go too, and a pair of gallileos although the edge on those isn't too good.

Stop saying Jet sept! It's upsetting me.
