I bought these shoes for trad, but since getting the Newtons, these are my sport shoes. Sensitivity is minimal, but they do edge well when the soles are new. The others are right about them stinking. I also find it annoying that I can stretch them out, but they return to constricted form after a while. This is probably a good feature for those of you who like uncomfortable/tight shoes.

This is my main trad shoe. The padding is excellent for walking off routes, 4th grade sections, etc. I can't really use it for bouldering as the feel isn't very sensitive and the padding in the heel is pretty thick and awkward.

People complain that this rope appears to be thicker than 10.5, but I think that other than this, it's a fine, fine rope. Especially for the money.

Great rope for it being cheap, but will need to be retired rather quickly. Good first rope.
