Review on 🧗 Unleash Your Climbing Potential with La Sportiva Men's TarantuLace Rock Climbing Shoe by Ben Boulanger

My first pair so I'll be brief as I'm probably not the best person to do thorough analysis. I have wide legs. As. WIDE. and the whole time i was demonstrating different shoes i was afraid i would get crushed in such a damn tight pair because climbing shoes are not supposed to have room for toes. Well, this pair got me rid of all those worries. I've tried a number of high end pairs from Scapra and there's nothing wrong with that, but these were the first and pretty much the only pair I could wear for 40 minutes without major discomfort, to the point where I had forgotten me in the end even had them on the. Very comfortable on all indoor climbs, the lacing is secure and easy to tighten/unfasten, the shape has a slight kink that helps me prioritize the sock when climbing (as a beginner). I don't even know what else to comment on. For me, comfort has been my number one concern and this shoe puts my mind at ease. UPDATE: Well it's July 2017 and as this review has helped a lot of people here is a follow up on what the shoe has endured since the original review: - Lots of bouldering - I'm going from 5.6 to 5.11 (indoors only) - One TON of poor lubrication, questionable foot pull-ups, and general swinging to make up for poor technique when I was studying. Overall Experience: - The fit was fantastic. No bruises, no bruises, I can wear them for hours without taking them off and feel no discomfort - almost no stretching. The laces hold up, easy to put on and take off, no smell. I'm not a 7am outdoor climber yet, but I haven't done anything to get rid of the smell since I've had them and they're still fine. Strong as you can see from the fact that I lubricated them. via The Final Word: Do the Toes Fit Like a High-End Aggressive Shoe? nope Is there a bit of heel space causing some of the heel supports to be patchy? Occasionally. Regardless, were they worth the hours of comfort by reducing one more thing I had to worry about as a beginner and allowing me to focus on technique and training without hurting my feet? Absolutely. I ended up wiping the toe of these shoes, no doubt due to poor technique, and if it weren't for sheer curiosity as to how some of the other shoes fit/differ from each other, I'd take them again.
