Verdes have been my go to shoe for trad ever since they came out. Are the pinks stiffer? Not as stiff or aggressive in the heel as whites i assume?
I'd take T-rocks and Whites on slate if I'm at my limit. Maybe it's the distinction of how far you push the boot? If I were on mid grades on slate, then yeah I'd still be all over the pinks.
casting a rosy light over whites will make them look pink, innit

I understand that the sales are limited but they are pissing all over an influential minority. This coupled with the culling of Ryan Pasquill and others out of the team this is shouting out we don't care what climbers who are passionate about the product care. Even if they only break even on the Whites seeing them photographed and worn on the hardest routes has to have a value that casts a rosy light over the rest of the range.
The rubber is very good. Coming from the Evolv shaman.
What are the best edging shoes now? I’ve tried Miuras...
I'd even go so far as to say they are about .5 a size bigger than equivalent whites?? Maybe the heel has thicker rubber than the whites or 5.10 sizing is still dodge. But this may be to do with the lower volume toe. My toe knuckles are defo further from the front of the shoe and when I stand them up next to each other my pinks are a bit longer?Maybe going .5 a size down would create white effect (+ heinous pain till they stretched)??
