Review on SCARPA Helix Lace Climbing Shoes: The Perfect Fit for Trad and Sport Climbing by Chad Carter

I like these shoes very much, but I only give four stars because they wear out very quickly (in less than three months climbing in the hall 2-4 times ) . during the week). Part of this may be due to the type of climbing I do, a lot of ARC training that involves climbing relatively easy levels for 45 minutes to an hour at a time. The size was also slightly different from the previous Scarpa Force VI, which lasted about six months longer than this one. Same size, same brand, and they were about 0.5 sizes (EU) bigger than the Force V. I wish I was 43.5 instead of 44. I wear size 10 1/2 US shoes for comparison.
