The Moccasym is THE top-selling slipper. It is a training shoe, a thin-crack shoe, and perfect for long bouldering sessions. We have made an uber-version of the Moccasym, the SuperMocc with a split toe rand guaranteed to improve your footwork in cracks.
If you're only going to buy one shoe for all your climbing, then make it an all-rounder. We check out six versatile models at the performance end of the market.
Ocun Diamond S - Precision and power for steep boulders
Its unique combination of extreme downturn, extreme asymmetry, and extreme comfort makes the Diamond S a particularly attractive option for those looking to make the leap into steeper and more advanced climbing, says Xa White.
"Guaranteed to improve footwork in cracks", what do people make of this? I'm guessing the split rand allows the shoe to deform more in a crack so there's greater rubber contact on the sides or is it just a gimmick?
thin cracks maybe. 5.10 Moccasins have long been a favourite of lots of top american crack climbers because I think they are so narrow you can slip your toes into thinner cracks with them than with anything else. But for the type of cracks I do, something comfy with some midsole to stop your foot getting too squashed is the way to go!
Is it available on the market? What is the RPP? I have an impression the heel has quite aggressive angle like in Anasazi Laceu-up (in both, the pink version and the white V2). Am I right?
