In reply to galpinos: Fires and other Boreal (like Ballet) were stiff, no rounded heel, great on tiny holds, good rubber, slimline close-fitted shape.
Curent offerings have weird shapes, asymmetric, rounded heels (which are useless), breathing holes that mean you just get wet feet on ledges, fabrics are too stretchy, they fall apart quickly, uncomfortable - badly made, badly designed.
There is an opening for the return of common sense.
