Noodles > Projects: So I've not been outside, but I've been climbing a fair bit on the wall during reviews. The Projects are standing up pretty well to the kicking that they get, Arayane came over and she always wants to work on heel hooks and nasty toe scums and the Projects perform really well when you're pulling both moves... I have to admit that as the shoes are so flexible sometimes I don't hook I just grab holds with my toes and just pull, but if I do hook the heel cup is nice enough that I don't need to worry; it's one of the best heel cups I've had on a pair of shoes as the "dead space" is little, compared to other shoes where it's been quite a large area.
The Projects have a nice band of toe rubber on the top of the show that allows you to get some good friction when you're hooking your toe under a hold, and it does help when you've got no choice (or a specific move has been called on a route) but to hook your toe under something and then pull on it.
I'm still impressed, this weekend I'll probably be outside (After dealing with some PC / Mac problems last weekend) so we'll see how these soft shoes are on rock and how long my feet last in them.... oh saying that even thou I did have a good bitch about the vents in the shoes giving me some trouble a few weeks ago I have to admit that I've not noticed it that much, despite my shoes being cranked up super tight the other night, maybe my feet are getting used to the shoes, but I have been kciking my heels out of the shoes when I'm not climbing, thankfully they're nice and easy to pull on and off thanks to the wide foot opening when you've got the velcro undone
