View Larger Far and away the best shoes I have ever climbed in. Having separate toes makes impossible grips possible.

I don’t understand how having your toes do the exact opposite of what you need them to do helps you climb…. I can’t imagine sending 5.12 when I can’t get the point of my shoes in a tiny foot….
Wrong. As much as I love my vibrams, they are terrible to climb in. It always makes me giggle when people come into the gym and try to climb with them on.
Totally agree with Derek. Great for running, terribly awfully terrible for climbing.
I work at an outdoor gear shop and any time people buy these with the intention to climb (although I can’t tell them not to do it) I strongly urge them to buy climbing shoes instead.
These things have caused so many people to buy them without researching barefoot running and ending up hurting themselves.
