Great shoe, some weaknesses
Great all-around shoe. Leaves a bit to be desired on overhangs and pockets, mainly because of the lack of downturn and toe shape. Great fit, very comfortable and super sticky.
Gambits add at least a grade to your climbing
These shoes literally add to your grade level of climbing. You put them on and BANG you can climb better than before. They are comfortable though I will buy the next size smaller due to the fact they seem to stretch a bit. I like my toes crammed in a shoe anyway. They are stiff enough to toe point on the smallest of stuff yet supple enough to feel the smallest crystal.
I trad all day in these bad boys. While others take their shoes off to give theri feet arest because their shoes are uncomfortable I leave mine on thinking about the next pitch ahead of me.
The heal is a positive fit heel. There is no air space in the heel so it's not clumsy. This makes heel hooking so much easier and you become much more confident sticking that heel when you need to take pressure off those hands.
The Onyxx rubber holds up well and grips where you need it.
I think of this shoe as a shoe that lacks nothing very similar to a high end performance tire. You never have to worry "IF" it can perform
Worth their money in every way.
