So is there no love for Mad Rock here?
Where do the locos fit into this equation?

In reply to: All of you are totally off!! The coooolest shoe in world is the Sportiva mythos. For longer routes (10+pitches) it’s the tradmaster. And for test pieces its all about the anasazi lace up. Word son!
no the La spotiva tradmaster is the tradmaster, these are the pups that I most often sport, oh and they are great for sport and bouldering. On less techical trad climbs I wear boreal golds the best shoe ever I think.

i noticed the same thing at the gym i sometimes go to, which is probably not statistically different since Dave probably goes to pipeworks.
for a long time it was the anasazi velcros, then one day it seemed like everyone had katanas.
i was lucky as i starterd busting out my resoled katanas right before they became cool so i looked liek i was with it before anyone else. but then i blew them out again and went back to teh anasazi velcros i had laying aorund so i probably looked behind the times. now i am rocking the evolve slippers, that i am finanlly getting a chance to break in so i am the quirky guy with the weird shoes.
for a while all the kids were weraring the madrocks but once the older crowd started sporting them they didn't seem as non-mainstream so they went to the anasazis.
the pink lace-ups will always be cool, but not cool if you wear them inside.

I don't think Muirras will ever be the "it" shoe, since they aren't as obviously aggro as the Venom or the Testarossa, nor do they have the instant recognizability of the V10 or the Anasazi Velcro. What I see a lot of as far as "it" shoes (although less so now) was the MadRock Loco. But what the hell do I know, I'm still pining for a pair of Sportiva Rock Jocks.

In reply to: If i was going to get a 3rd pair of shoes.. mythos would be the ones.. for trad and slab(of any type) they seem to be the king.. or queen if you get lady mythos psst.. 'rossas are still comfy :runs away:
The mythos will probably be my second pair of shoes. Rite now I'm lovin the Pheonix (theres your madrock love) but something about toe shape is hurting, its not too tight its just my right big toe is getting to be a problem.
Not to mention the Mythos looks so cool yet so comfy at the same time. its the 'coolest' shoe for the resident hardman at my gym.

How about it for the Madrock Flash eh? Extremely common around here, even among "real" climbers.
Oh, btw, the woman's Miura is a godsend to someone with a foot as narrow as mine (heh, I have less than an AAA width...) one of the few shoes that I've found that really have had just an amazing fit on my foot, they more then likely shall be my next shoe investment.

My newest pair of shoes, MR Pheonix-es, have been serving me great in the gym but this weekend i had my first full day of trad in them and they set fire to my feet (in a bad way).
Now, to avoid hijacking and asking about trad shoes Ican ask: "What is the coolest Trad shoe around?"

when you feel good about yourself on the inside AND the outside
And to put in my two cents, the 5.10 Galileo's are becoming rediculously popular down here in eastern NC. That Onix rubber sure sticks the plastic well...

Oh, and I ain't pretty. If you see a picture, you'll know. 8^)
BTW, like the thread anyway. Sarcasm, humor and all that. Oh yeah, just got off nightshift. Sleeeeep.

I have the La Sport Mantra S . They are so uber cool looking when I'm in the gym cranking on the V4 Slab....
j/k
But I do have those shoes though, the rubbers a bit thin but the are super aggresive...Definatly not for those with sloppy feet. I had a friend just starting out who bought these ...tore through them in a 2 weeks on rock.

Have to move over to the beginners forum to find that love.
At the gym I work at, I often see people do a route in new shoes and talk about how great they are....shortly after I climb the same route in Asics, they get a little more quite about how sticky the rubber is.
My Evovl Quests look like they're gonna be great for trad...super comfortable with good rubber and a great fit. The only thing is they're heavily lined and seem like they're gonna be ovens this summer. I'm already worried about the smell....
