I'm curious if these would make efficient climbing shoes. Has anyone tested these out on a climbing wall or ropes course?

The tips of the shoes aren't that similar to climbing shoes, but they would probably work. You'd definitely want to get a smaller size though. I normally wear size 10.5 shoes (45 in China) but I decided to get 44 just to be safe, but the shoes are still a tad to big.

(From the 17 year old traceur) - these shoes are lightweight and grippy. They are great for things like climbing walls, ropes, etc. - great quality.

I have used them in a running shoe and the impact absorption has been great. I am sure slow walking with heavy load should get good support too,not sure life of a pair due to prolonged compression though.

Mountain and wall climbing ropes are made for these activities. It's more than tensile strength, it has a lot to do with the stretch of the rope so it's not as hard of landing. There is also another rating which I forget the name but it's the force of a falling weight. This stuff is great and is the right kine of paracord for all sorts of things but I wouldn't put my life or safety on the line without better info. But to answer your question this stuff is strong, strong, strong.

They would work excellent. They come with a sticky set of feet that screw on and are very durable. My wife specifically used these for snowy, icy days this last winterand they provided excellent stability. They are very durable.

i don't think it's a good idea. although i haven't tried to move them from shoes to shoes i did try to reposition them two or three times to find the fight spots. the sticky foam at the bottom will eventually torn if you are not very gentle with them. i just bought enough pairs for all my shoes to have their own pads.

absolutely - they are awesome! much easier to take on and off when you get a rock in your shoe!!

I haven't used them in that regard but I would think they wouldn't be too successful. They're fine for keeping light things tacked together where no real gravity is applied. I would think keeping something like stockings up would be too much weight for the adhesive

I have used them for mountain biking and they do an acceptable job protecting my knees and shins. I am not sure that type of protection might be comfortable for climbing and will stay in place if you take traumatic steps, small jumps, etc. I believe a tube fabric with plastic inserts might work better for you. Just a thought.

It is not for that purpose. I would say no it won't prevent a climber from climbing

You will, but they won't hold as well as they would in tubular climbing webbing. This stuff is pretty slick, so if you're planning on using it for any weight-bearing purposes I wouldn't trust it.

I wouldn't run in them , I'm pretty sure they would fall off. They are just not made for high impact physical movement.

They may work to help dog from slipping if u put the word side down so it works as a gripper but as far as leaving them on for anymore time then a short walk outside you should probably not. Think about putting a ballon on your Dogs feet the part that is the opening is very tight and I think most dogs will try to chew it off. The only way my dog -puppy allows us to put them on is because he knows we will not take him for his outside walk in the rain or snow without this boots but as soon as we get in house he starts to try to chew them off.

Honestly I mean I guess it would depend what you were doing in them. I run in them and love them and they have awesome sound. Now would I use them during my martial arts and stuff? Not likely but if you wanna run I don't think I have ever had a pair of s11's fall off so I would recommend and I'm not running usually on just flat ground it could be any terrain so I hope that helps ya out.

I am a powerlifter so only use them for deadlifts. They seem good. No sock is invincible, if you are going to constantly scrape a sock against a bar or a rope they will eventually break down. But better a $10-15 sock then your shin.

I have never tried, but they might work if you duct taped them to your feet.

I think that would be a good idea. Just whatever you do, get something with better traction than this style!

They seem pretty durable, but that's some pretty intense wear. I'm sure they would wear out faster than normal if you were doing that very often. I would worry more about them sliding around when climbing up. They fit well, but with that kind of pull, they might twist on your hand.
