The sole unit looks more like it&#39;s oriented toward the walking/trekking end of the mountaineering spectrum. question_134936 Tue, 27 Oct 2009 19:04:05 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Evolv-Demorto-Climbing-Shoe/EVL0020M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_134834#question_134834 Evolv Demorto Climbing Shoe<br /><br />I have just recently started climbing at a local rock gym and after one sniff of using the rental shoes I decided that I was buying my own pair to use. I bought a pair that seemed to be comfortable in the store, but upon using them for a half hour I find they are much too narrow for my wide feet. I wear a 10.5 4e street shoe and got 5.10 coyote lace ups in size 11. After a half hour or so of use, my two outside toes begin hurting due to being crushed inward because of the width of the shoe.<br /><br />The symmetrical toe box on this shoe seems like it would help, but I was wondering if anyone knew specifically if it was good for people with wide feet?<br /><br />Edit: I should add that I would like to go climbing outdoors with some people that I know who do multi-pitch trads, so a long wearing comfortable shoe is going to be necessary. question_134834 Tue, 27 Oct 2009 12:50:53 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Scarpa-Summit-GTX-Mountaineering-Boot-Mens/SCR0080M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_134514#question_134514 Scarpa Summit GTX Mountaineering Boot - Men's<br /><br />How do these boots compare in warmth to the Scarpa Chamoz? question_134514 Sun, 25 Oct 2009 23:03:55 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Vasque-Radiator-Mountaineering-Boot-Mens/VSQ0098M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_133728#question_133728 Vasque Radiator Mountaineering Boot - Men's<br /><br />how much support do these give? i&#39;m looking for a good double boot for snowboard mountaineering, capable of decent ice climbing feel, but have been discouraged by the thickness of the sole under the heel of boots like the nupste, nepal evo gtx, and the baruntse. i would rather not be seperated from the deck of my board by another 2 inches anyone have any suggestions? question_133728 Wed, 21 Oct 2009 12:40:31 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Five-Ten-Anasazi-VCS-Climbing-Shoe/FVT0001M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_133715#question_133715 Five Ten Anasazi VCS Climbing Shoe<br /><br />Just got a pair of these. I usually take UK size 5 trainers, got the climbing shoes in a 5.5. My big and second toes are pretty squished, though I have just managed to walk around the house for about an hour in them without crying...how likely are they to stretch? From reading the reviews people seem to have actually gone for a size down, but for the sake of my comfort is it worth switching them a size up? question_133715 Wed, 21 Oct 2009 11:23:02 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/La-Sportiva-Spantik-Mountaineering-Boot-Mens/LSP0059M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_133666#question_133666 La Sportiva Spantik Mountaineering Boot - Men's<br /><br />How would these fair on an approach in mild temps?

What size would you guys recommend me to get the Jet7? I was thinking about an 11 concerning the previous reviews?<br /><br />Thanks question_133581 Tue, 20 Oct 2009 18:34:37 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Five-Ten-Galileo-Climbing-Shoe/FVT0007M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_132958#question_132958 Five Ten Galileo Climbing Shoe<br /><br />I have a pair of evolv defy shoes that I really like except for one thing. The smell. I live in a really small apartment and don&#39;t have anywhere to keep them outside so I end up keeping then in zip lock bags. I was wondering if these had the same smell problem. Thanks question_132958 Sun, 18 Oct 2009 10:57:18 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Scarpa-Charmoz-GTX-Mountaineering-Boot-Mens/SCR0041M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_132921#question_132921 Scarpa Charmoz GTX Mountaineering Boot - Men's<br /><br />When I tried on the La Sportiva Trango S EVO as a 46, they were just a bit too short, so I had planned to order a 46 1/2, until someone suggested the Scarpa Charmoz instead. I have a narrow heel and a narrow to mid front foot. The Trango EVO fit very well otherwise. How do these two boots compare? question_132921 Sun, 18 Oct 2009 01:22:20 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/La-Sportiva-Miura-VS-Climbing-Shoe/LSP0081M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_132896#question_132896 La Sportiva Miura VS Climbing Shoe<br /><br />I have an extremely narrow foot. My street shoe size is 10.5 (42.5-43), I wear a size 41 katana and the velcro straps hang way over the sides of the shoe, they work, but barley. I tried going 40.5 in the katana but they were too painful in the toes while still being nearly as narrow as you could strap them width wise. How does the width of this shoe compare to the katana? Would these shoes work for me? question_132896 Sat, 17 Oct 2009 22:09:53 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Five-Ten-Copperhead-Lace-up-Climbing-Shoe/FVT0057M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_132774#question_132774 Five Ten Copperhead Lace-up Climbing Shoe<br /><br />Does anyone know how these fair on long days and alpine routes? question_132774 Sat, 17 Oct 2009 09:29:47 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Five-Ten-Team-5.10-Climbing-Shoe/FVT0064M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_132740#question_132740 Five Ten Team 5.10 Climbing Shoe<br /><br />Are you going to get any other sizes in for this shoe? 8.5 or 9? question_132740 Sat, 17 Oct 2009 00:47:06 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Mad-Rock-Jester-Climbing-Shoe-Mens/MRC0024M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_132658#question_132658 Mad Rock Jester Climbing Shoe - Men's<br /><br />These are basically last years &quot;new mugen&quot;, are they sized the same? question_132658 Fri, 16 Oct 2009 17:30:37 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/La-Sportiva-Glacier-Mountaineering-Boot-Womens/LSP0020M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_132003#question_132003 La Sportiva Glacier Mountaineering Boot - Women's<br /><br />Write your question here...I have owned a pair of Sportiva Boots forever. They are dying. Which of these boots comes close to replacing it? The old ones say &quot;Trekking&quot; 39 1/2 R 992 on the tongue. I think they are a woman&#39;s boot, but don&#39;t really know that for a fact. They are 7 incehs tall. I have worn them 3 to 6 days a week for so many years, I have forgotten when I bought them, maybe 5 or 6 years ago. help? question_132003 Wed, 14 Oct 2009 14:29:59 GMT
