Aleon $107
The edging power is spot on. It might not be the best slab shoe, but I’ve not had any problems there either. For hard bouldering or sport on small footholds: an absolute beast! The C4 rubber holds up to a lot of abuse and doesn’t chip away, like some other brands of rubber might do, especially after sharp granite footholds. And when climbing inside, the rubber doesn’t seem to ”glass out” as easily. The toe-box has a nice slab of rubber on top, which makes for increased performance when toe hooking.

At one point last year, I decided to count how many top ten finishers in the men's and women's bouldering world cup wore Five Ten Hiangles. Of the twenty top plastic pebble wrestlers in the IFSC world circuit, six were in Hiangles. That was by far the most popular shoe amongst the elite athletes. A couple months earlier, I picked up a pair for myself and I fell in love. View more
