Hi all, went to the granite on weekend, and loved it!!!! Now what shoes are best for the granite as I guess it rips them apart ??

Do you mean best shoes for not wearing out on granite or the best shoes for climbing hard grades on it?

Boreal rubber is particularly hardy, so I'm told, but, in my experience, Dartmoor granite eats shoes and that's that.

In my opinion anasazi pinks are brilliant on granite. Red Chilli sausalitos are great as well.

Granite is generally either on small edges/crystals or cracks so something stiff for the small stuff with rubber on top and laces for the cracks. That's my preference anyway.
