shoe upgrade 9-Oct-2003 At 12:08:46 PM V

Despite a resole (after Buffalo granite shredding) my little brother's old Boreal Vectors (inherited) have just about had it. They have stretched so much that my feet slide around inside them, and I randomly pop off edges.

So I'm looking at upgrading. I have been climbing in a pair of borrowed Sportiva Climb -- squeezing into a 41 has improved my confidence a lot. But I am looking at buying a pair of shoes soon. Ideal characteristics: good for smearing, edging, jamming, not too comfy, but not too rough either, as I like to do multipitch. Laces -- definately. Not really after a stiff shoe like Aces, maybe something a bit softer.

I have been looking at some Scarpas -- I think they might have been either Inferno or Helix -- can anyone recommend these? Any other models I might want to consider? I'm not attempting anything above about grade 20 at the moment. Your recommendations would be appreciated!

Cheers,

Vaughan :-)
