Submited By: Jamie Mantle on 23/11/2010 The V2 are a must for an enthusiastic Trad climber with superb edging capabilities due to the amazing stiffness of the stealth rubber, without compramising the comfort of the shoe. Since i bought these shoes two years ago I have used them for every trad route I have done due to their comfort when worn for a long period of time, and I have even resorted to using them for hard slab boulder problems in and outdoors as they are the only thing that can get me up a Northumberland slab. In terms of fit I have found that you have to aim for close to your normal shoe size, normally i'm a 9 or 9.5 in any climbing shoe but i'm a 10 in these as they are a tight fit and due to their stiffness will not get any better, so makes sure their comfortable when you buy them. If I was to pick one falt with them I would say that the heels take a bit of getting used to as they pinch a bit to start with and arn't the best for heelhooking.
