this shoe is, hands down, the best shoe ever made. I've owned quite a few pairs and now that they are discontinued I use them only for the hardest redpoints. I write this in hopes that Scarpa will continue to produce them. I got a pair of the new Tifosis (part of the new lineup) by Scarpa and they climb like a Blah Sportiva. This shoe edges like a demon. I wore them on the first and only ascent of Jazz Rock Confusion, 13d, at the New River Gorge. I'm quite certain that the route cannot be repeated without Scarpa Dominators. I'm not even joking and I dare you to try to prove me wrong.
