Will Goops the toes of his moccs with something, I should ask what it is. Some other dudes I know seam gripped all the mocc stitching when they were gnu... seems to help avoid blowouts on the uppers in #3 cracks. I had to pay a little extra to get mine restitched at the shorp.

The stops really will drop the average no matter how you do it. Sounded good to me.
Going through the park really has caused me to slow down. It's part the scenery, part the curves and part not getting the draft from the cars (or really the cars wizzing by keep me focused, rather than "hey, look a turtle")

I have...
In reply to: I have not seen them and I have two live pair of moccs and two paper thin holey ones so I am not likely to buy any, but I am curious.
They really are fucking awesome. I'm not really a shoe fetish type, but these were a worthwhile purchase.
I got tired of filling in the holes on my Moccs, so I looked into the Supermoccs. I was at Neptunes for a slide show, and thought I'd try on a pair. They are on sale for 87 bucks, and I liked them a lot, so I bought a pair.
Here's the deal:
They have the new 5.10 Stealth "Mystique" rubber, which allows them to put a thinner sole on the shoe. So they actually have an even thinner toe profile than the Moccs.
They also have a rand that covers one of the two wear spots on the Moccs. Unfortunately, the other is still uncovered, so I "stealth painted" mine.
Here's what they look like now:
Only had one long weekend in them, but extremely happy so far. Closest I've ever felt to real security in green camalot size crack.
GO

Oh, him. I thought you were talking about doing it yourself.
Yeah, resoling Mad Rocks sounds even sillier than buying them in the first place, and doing it yourself? No way.

Damn, those do look sweet. My moccs blow in the same two spots.
What is the story with the mystique? It is 2mm instead of 5mm? It is much harder or wears super tough?
I think I read online somewhere that you can't resole the supermoccs, but maybe that was incorrect... maybe resolers just don't have mystique?
hey camhead, didn't those projects you had have mystique? How was it?

only about the first half of it is surface roads, the rest is park/riverside trail, which is nice.

He's not quite to that level yet. Mostly because he's kind of amusing, as he sees himself as a pretty good climber.

Well the industry claim is that the rubber is harder and lasts much longer, but they're as sticky or stickier than Stealth. The jury is still out for me with the former, but I'd agree with the latter. I felt slightly more secure (I size up a full number for my crack shoes) on face holds than I do in my old Moccs. That's probably just because the rubber is newer. So if the claim is true and the rubber really does last a longer too, that would be sweet.
Mostly, though, yeah, it's how thin the soles are that's so nice.
I'm sure that by the time I need a resole, the mystique will be available for resolers.

It's true. You let in just one of them damn darkies and pretty soon the neighborhood is overrun with 'em.
