In 15 years of climbing I've only blown out 3 pairs of shoes. What I do like to do is wear shoes right down and then pull them out for the odd pitch here or there. This results in the Well Worn Concept!!

So does No Edge just feel like those well worn shoes you've got that haven't blown yet but feel super sensitive and are the business for certain climbs, smearing and smedging etc???

I'd be more interested in them if there were a TC Pro edition, just as a side note.

In reply to yodadave:

My shoes get well worn. Red chillis I bought off here two months ago are completely blown now, toe almost through the end. Felt fine indoor bouldering in them today upto v5 level. Done lots of limestone climbing on them the last two weeks with no edge and even pushed my grade!

If you are using your toes effectively then I find shoes don't hinder you much. I find I can really smear the toe in on holds when shoes are worn.
