In reply to gekitsu:
> i am a bit puzzled, though, when you write ‘It is, as you'd expect from a shoe of this nature, highly assymetrical in its profile’. when the shots of the shoes’ soles show that the toebox points pretty much in the direction of the line from the heel forward, and its front isn’t even shaped in a way that would make it look more inward-pointing. maybe i’m misunderstanding what asymmetry means, but on a scale from tarantula to drago, their top–down view seem to fall way more towards the former than to the latter.
Funnily enough I wrote this review a fair few months ago now and had to re-read it to remember quite what I'd written. Upon reading that particular section I do wonder quite what I was on about, because as you say - they're not highly asymmetrical, but are asymmetrical (if that makes sense).
Alongside the Hiangle I've been using the new Scarpa Boostics, which are the very definition of asymmetric, and I've attached a photo of the two side by side, with a Drago LV just to their right, just to compare.
I'll get the wording updated so that it's clearer.
