Hi, 

From your experience does having soft or stiff shoes make a difference on a 35-40 degree board (System board with screw ons)

Personally I use skwamas when training on a moonboard. I wouldn't want to wear a shoe that was too stiff as it may not allow quick precise placements.

It's probably also a personal thing as well. I'm sure there are those who wear stiffer shoes on a steep board.

Give both a try and see how you feel.

Moccs for training. Dragons for sending. 

Hi, 

I have been using a very comfy TC Pros for years on 40deg and 20 deg Moonboars without problems. 

I’ve a 30 degree board with screw ons. I’ve got an ancient pair of Boldrinis with the toe rubber gone, which I use exclusively for training. If you’re using domes for footholds, it’s a great core workout. It’s the footwear equivalent of train heavy, climb light. I’ve got a couple of decent pairs for outside.

Soft. Save the stiff shoes for the crimpy vert/slightly overhanging. Stiff shoes tend to pop which means more risk of injury from accidentally loading a small hold really hard.

I wear the pinks for absolutely everything! bouldering, sport, slabs, overhanging, normal walls, indoors, outdoors, everything!
