best all around performance shoes currently in existance: scarpa tifosi. sportiva muira is still a close second for bouldering, sport, etc… just that the thinner profile heel of the tifosi works a tad better for heel hook perching on thin edges.

best velcro shoe currently in existance: sportiva solution.

best slipper in existance: scarpa stix.

anything less would be uncivilized.

i’ve tried all the other brands. they all are teh suck.
