My home crag (Batman Wall - Borneo) requires a lot of upper body strength with not much emphasis on foot work. Then came the rock trip to Chiang Mai, Thailand- the Crazy Horse Butress where the limestone is crimpy with little hooks, nooks, and crannies for footholds. These shoes suddenly came into their own as I learned to use my feet better. But alas, 10 days of climbing saw that I used up all the rubber on the edges and now I need a resole. My Katanas are about 8 months old. Yes, I am buying another pair while I send these present ones to be re-soled. BTW, my street shoes are 44 and my Katanas are 42.5!
