When it comes to heel sag where it molds on to the hold I like Testarossas. They don't have much toe rubber though.
Rodma is on crack, boostics are stiff. Certainly stiffer than instinct laces, which in my opinion are the better shoe. Not tried booster s in anger yet but significantly softer than boostic.
Don't things get harder to bend when they get shorter (generally)? It was when you said that the instinct was stiffer that I got really suspicious. You're sure it was the boostic and not the booster? Not that the booster is super soft but it has got a split sole and whilst it's not "anything but stiff" it is softer than the boostic in the toebox.
Have you got hooves for feet?
Romda, but nobody apart from you have claimed that the boostics are soft. You seemed unsure initially which is the only reason I suggested that you may have got the model wrong, it's only now that you've decided you're certain that they were boostics. You think they're soft, fine. That's your opinion, I can only assume you climbed in clogs prior to owning them, no more will I comment on the ghastly things.
So you haven't actually tried them?Yeah I must be mistaken or we handled different shoes unless you fondled the pair I purchased.
I tried them on in the shop, stood on some holds but didn't take me long to realise that they weren't for me.

I'm done here, you'll have to find something else to entertain you as I'm attempting to change my dual mass flywheel in my mondeo today...
sort of like the stiffness of the original dragons with the feel of teams around the mid foot and the fit of a pair of scarpas or sportivas in the heel. Quite a lot of tension in the heel so it feels quite secure out of the box.
5.10's approach to new shoe development
Anyone recommending some for wide feet with big big toes and narrow heels? Grit bouldering's the name of the game, so stickier rubber is the one. ps. My star sign is scorpio.
