In reply to Mountain Spirit:
Just do what i do and buy the ones that look smart!!
In all seriousness is there anything wrong with the model you are already familiar with? I fell for the shoe hype and convinced myself there was something wrong with my scarpa velocitys and then bought some Otakis, which i then thought were to stiff and too small, so i bought some Genius shoes which are great for bouldering and sport but tosh for trad.
At the minute i just rotate through the three pairs, and will continue to do so until they are all nackered. At which point i will buy some sensible shoes, that fit, that suit the grades i climb at.
Like some Pinks.
