MISTY MOUNAIN!!!! Tons of back support & very comfortable!

Have you tried the Chili's? I tried them last night and found them to be sensitive. Also they function awesome at the Red on steep routes!

I know that the Petzl Calidris has a very wide back section and a lot of people like it, though they can be a bit on the expensive side. As far as shoes go, I like the La Sportiva Cobras and the Five Ten V10's. I have heard good things about the Red Chili Voodoos too. The best shoe is the one that fits your foot though.

Hey Gretchen, how is the rubber on the Red Chilis? I have never even seen a pair.

The Misty Mountain Cadillac is fat. Very cushy.

I vote Misty Mtn Cadillac as well. That'll be my next harness.
The Red Chilis use Vibram 4mm. Very sticky. Neither Gretchen or I have Chilis, but they will definitely be the next shoe we buy!

I may have to look into the Red Chilis then. Do you know who sells the Voodoo?

Sik, Greg Houston from Lex. is the area Rep. He was here in Cincy this week & I tried them out. I really liked them! Plus Greg loves how they perform at the Red on the steep sh*t! So it is definitely worth the try.

Greg will be doing shoes demos at Rocktoberfest, so try them out!!!
