Worse Shoe Ever Owned
Review by: jdurbin6, 2012-09-02
I bought these shoes because I found a good deal at a local store, and I needed a new pair ASAP.
Plus side: shoes are comfortable
Down side: Rubber on these is terrible. Not the same rubber used on higher end Sportiva models. The rubber oxidizes after each use, which means on the 3rd or 4th route of the day, the shoe gets slippery.
I've had these shoes for 2 weeks and the rubber is already giving me slip issues even after being cleaned.
But you get what you pay for, I paid 60$
I give this 2 instead of 1 because beginners looking for a cheap shoe who won't know the difference can benefit from it.
