Is there such a thing?
After a serious ankle injury nearly four years ago, I have tried in the last few months to get back on rock.
I have searched high and low for a sticky boot, as opposed to the sticky ballerina shoes that seem to be the norm these days.
I remember my first rock boots, my PAs in the sixties were actually boots, as were EBs, although I concede they offered little ankle support.
All I find these days are approach boots, which seem to merely give a nod to stickyness by having a bit on the toe area.
The only thing I have are my 20 year old Mescalitos, which weren’t that sticky, but a brilliant scrambling boot, but fast wearing out. I’m thinking of having them resoled, but with what I’m not sure.
5:10 briefly had a guide tennie boot, but I can’t find them any more, I liked the dotty stealth rubber on my old tennie shoes, but I hear that rubber is no longer available.
So is that my only/best option, resoling my mescalitos with 5.10 dotty? Or is there a better rubber available for that, or a better boot to buy?
Thanks in anticipation.
