Pro's wear their sponsors shoes and 'experts' wear whatever they can scam a deal on.

La Sportiva and Red Chili are made in the same factory by the same family. The advantage of Red Chili is that Stefan Glowacz designs them and he used to design all the shoes for La Sportiva. This means that they are really a climbers shoe. They are not made to be sold but to be climbed in. Red Chili is a very high end shoe line. The dissadvantage is that Red Chili is hard to find and a bit more expensive. I love Red Chili Voodoos and X-Cubes and am 100% loyal to them.. I do like La Sportiva and if I had a second choice I would choose the Testerossa and the Barracuda. Good luck!

I can see why you would say that!!! No, I just know about the shoes because my friend is one of their athletes and I buy all of his old shoes off him. I really like them and so I thought I should write something...Peace!

K- but I should have said that I wanted a pair of those shoes and after trying on almost every model they make I figured that they just don't fit my shape of foot. Five Tens work best for me.
Basically that means the "last" method and patterns makes a lot of difference.
