Vibram - Spyridon EVO

i do have the spyrydon(?) and kso. the kso has a much thinner sole and the spyrydon has more grip and protects me for rocks. you still feel everything, but not that much. normal hiking shoes, i feel that i hit something because elevation, not the actual feel. remember that your foot must have strength in the toes, in don't train that much, i focus more on running and ground feeling. perhaps you need to give it time to adapt and strenghten, orndecide its not for you. everyone is different, that makes humans great!

La Sportiva's have the best grip on wet rock. After that any shoe with Vibram Megagrip. Followed by Salomon's ContraGrip. They all work well. Best bet, go to a store and try a bunch on. You have recommended shoes from a bunch of people. Now go see how they fit YOUR feet. Go with the ones you like/fit best. Also as others have said skip the waterproofing. It'll only make your feet hot and sweaty. Gortex is for the winter.

My favorite maybe the Nnormal kjerag, but realistically i just go with some semi worn-out + low stack + Vibram megagrip shoe. I always destroy the midsole / side of my shoe if i am scrambling a lot, and I found the La sporitva white outsole not as grippy as Vibram Megagrip, plus having semi worn-out lugs helps out in rocks.
