So I've got a weird left big toe. Think I broke it a few times kicking the wall in whips/belay surprises. It no longer bends much, and any remotely aggressive shoe is agony. I went to the doctors, they did x rays, and told me it's fine and there's nothing wrong with it. It's obviously not, but whatever. It's only an issue when climbing, not in everyday life.
I've been using La Sportiva Tarantulaces, as they're about the only thing that don't cause me extreme pain in my left big toe. They were my first shoe, and I've tried other shoes now and again, and ended up back at the Tarantulaces because I can just wear them all day with minimal issues.
The problem with them is that the rubber really sucks, and they're just kinda poorly made. They have nowhere near enough rubber on the toe, so it doesn't take long for holes to appear.
I tried the La Sportiva Finale's, but will have to return them as they cause pain.
I think I just need a straight shoe. I think it's anything remotely asymmetrical is what causes the toe pain. So, my question is.. What should I be trying next? Basically I want a noob comfy shoe, with the best rubber possible and as little asymmetry as possible.
Any recommendations?
Cheers guys.
