For some reason I cannot reply on previous post replies are blocked out?
Firstly I am still keeping my climbing shoes, the fivefingers are for indoor bouldering, training, my feet swell up so much at present what with the heat indside the climb that keeping the rock shoes on is proving a great problem.
When I eventually venture onto real rock and do the more technical indoor climbing then I shall use the rock shoes and leave the fivefingers for approach and walking.
As for toes breakage, I virtually live in thin soled flip flops or bare foot when I can, have rather strong toes. Have jumped off and over things in flip flops, attempted to run in them (not that I can run due to dodgy knees), have taken the dog on long walks in them over varied terrain etc..
When I have the spare cash I shall get some slipper type rock shoes. But for now shall toggle between my scarpas and the fivefingers.
As for fashion victim? lol I shall look like a blasted hobbit, not sexy shoes at all.
