Use the search function and I think you will find that every brand ever made are the "best climbing shoes!!!" (Is this another shoe thread?)

Just like 150 other ppl before you. No biggy though. I am sure you will get plenty of responses. Personally I prefer bare feet. Come on thats way more manly.

Anasazi velcros, even though I have other shoes I keep coming back to them. This past weekend I used them for both multi-pitch trad at Seneca and single pitch sport at Franklin (also WV)

I personally love the new Anasazi Southwests. They are very powerful but also very sensitive. And the heel is so so sweet for sick heel hooks. But I do have a problem with the midsole, sole thing. My sole started to come apart from my midsole withing 3 weeks of purchasing them. It might of been that I did some seriously hard stuff and very pourous rock and it was wihle they were streching and forming to my feet, so the added stress might have caused them to come a part a bit. But even when they were slightly apart they were kickass shoes. But fiveten is a really good sport about that and they are fixing it for me for free. I can't wait till I get em back so I can do crazy crags with them.

I use 5.10 zlippers. I love them, and they were cheap. A good shoe to start out with, pretty versatile.

Word to the La Sportiva users in the crowd. Here is a secret...95% of your climbing will depend on your mind and your body and about 5% will depend on the shoes you are wearing. Shoes are basically there to keep your toes becoming bloody and giving a little support so you can stand on tiny edges and use friction. The rest of the climbing depends on everything else.

I love La Spotiva Mythos because my feet are REALLY narrow so they fit my feet really well. They are great on cracks and edges although my friends can't even get there toes into my shoes. :wink:
