another shoes question 27-May-2004 At 9:33:48 PM Tel

thanks neil,
I am on my second pair of shoes, sportiva miura, which now that they have broken in are really good. I had never thought about exactly where the power is transferred within the shoe. Now that I think about it though you are right, it feels really strong and solid in the toe. I like this apsect as I can feel confident with placing my weight on the toe even when bouldering on an incline I tend to push hard in with the toe, anyway I digress
I did try the velcro Katanas but the top of the heel where the loops are felt like it was cutting my achilles in half so I passed on them.
as my miuras are still relatively new I might hold out on getting a second pair for a while yet( tempting as it is) , as an incidental, I was told that it usually takes three pair of shoes before you end up getting it right.
cheers and thanks.
