Testarossa 5 out of 5 stars

Review by: Go-Devil, 2007-05-28


The ferrari under the climbing shoes...
Mine have a glove like fit, wearing them a Whole day without pain !
Asymmetric when new although after first uses this softens and they become less asymm. Still good enough for ultra precision tough, but now also very comfortable !
Toe hooks and pulling on micro edges become reality, even, unlike many say, slab and cracks are also part of the Testarossa's working ground ! Cracks can be painfull, but after break-in period you learn to use unusable micro-cracks, just put the tip and twist like a nutter, the XSgrip rubber from ( I think vibram) is good enough for hard slab climbs ( maybe not the 8a kind of slab, but just difficult slab)
When shopping for new shoes, try this one ! You're sold. The high prices make up in minimal wear, and a complete new look on hard routes, you realy become more confident when doin micro-edgy stuf, I just love how I can jam the first half cm of the toe into tiny vertical cracks, and still be confident to put my full weight on it !
Beware !This shoe stretches, buy it so your toes start to hurt after 30min wearing them, they'll fit perfect after your first climb.

Best steep climbing shoe made. It fits my foot better than any other sport climbing shoe. I use this shoe on steep limestone mostly, very good edging and pulling shoe. I prefer a flatter sole for more vertical climbing and also on cobble (contact surface makes a difference at Maple!) If it fits your foot you will love it. It is also one of the longest lasting shoes I have owned. My other sportivas ussually get a years use with on resole in that year, I have had these for over a year and a half and there are still no holes in the toe or rand, perfection!!!

One of the best shoes that are out their. The form of the shoe is great. Also the the toe is arched down which maked is awsome for overhangs. The heel is awsome and never pops. Best shoe that i have ever had

I love these shoes! I bought these and the barracudas, the Cudas are really nice, but it's so hard to put the on after the Testarossas. So sensitive I find myself wrapping my toes around holds, it's awesome. They can be a little pricey, but it's most def worth spending the extra money to pull harder. Stop buying endless amounts of cheap shoes and splurge for these shoes, you won't regret it!

I have owned a number of shoes and this is by far the best shoe I have ever worn it edges great it smears better then any shoe I have ever used its just great. I feel as though the only down side is the $160 price tag but it is worth it if you are looking for a shoe that will make you climb harder.
