Issues with shoes 11-Apr-2005 At 5:38:03 PM hangdoggy

i think interchangable soles would be very hard to manage...as they are likely to be bulk on the sole which would lose sensitivity...
and besides by the time a climber is ready for a pair of intermediate or advanced shoes there first pair probably need replacing anyway.

as for shoes thats why there is so many ...as there are many different needs in a shoe as well as feet shapes....

so i dont think there will be an ultimate shoe design..best you can hope for is to design a shoe that fits a niche market , or a general shoe that fits a wider catagory

as for helmets.....yuck..i think i've got a odd shaped scone...as both hats and helmets dont seem to fit properly.....they just seem loose and move around to much ...which is distracting and uncomfortable apart form reducing your visibility
