Been looking at my next set of bouldering shoes and the speedsters look and sound a really good shoe, the p3 system i like and slippers and good, giving the no edge a shot
Anybody on here got them and think there good/bad? Any help would be awesome

In reply to littlejon86:

Subject to the standard if-they-suit-your-foot-shape caveats --

Got them, like them for steep overhanging stuff. The no-edge thing makes them very sensitive which is helpful for me in trying to acquire decent footwork for steep stuff (not my strong point), and you can really pull with your toes.

OTOH, the fact that they're very soft and down-turned means that they're not going to be great for smeary slabs or trying to stand on little edges. Definitely not a good all-rounder shoe.

But great as a second pair (or third, or fourth ...) if you've accepted your fate and started accumulating a wardrobe of climbing shoes. *g* And usually significantly cheaper than many other Sportiva shoes -- certainly the cheapest way to try the no-edge thing.
