I lost one of my Anasazi Pinks so I now climb with an odd pair of shoes!

I did have a pair of the new 'greens' (Verdes I think they're called), but I lost them. Luckily, I was actually quite glad to lose them, because I couldn't seem to get on with the rubber!

My feet kept slipping unexpectedly, which was terrible for my technique and confidence. I never usually have to think about the friction on my feet - my brain seems to deal with it subconsciously. But climbing in the greens I was always having to think about them and I also started gripping the rock too hard with my hands as a consequence. Anyone had a similar experience?

What shoes have EXACTLY the same rubber as the old pink lace-ups?

In reply to Andy S:

The whites (Blancos), I believe. It's C4 you want. The Verdes have Onyxx.

In reply to Andy S: The pinks used C4, so the new white lace ups (V2's) and Rogue Velcro both have the same compound on them.

In reply to neil the weak: the old pinks were definitely stealth c4? I can't seem to find out what rubber was on the old pinks.

In reply to Andy S: Yes, definetely.

In reply to Andy S:

Just looked at the soles of some Pinks, they say Stealth C4.

In reply to Andy S:

5.10 Red Mocc's also have C4 compound (well, the pair I picked up last week do anyway)
