Materials: kevlar plastic
Use: daily rock hiking w. good weather
Break-in Period: 2 weeks
Weight: under 2kgs/pair
Price Paid: 200 EUR

Second rewiew after owning and destroying two pairs of these shoes. The main reason not buying a third pair is they are quite short-lived, even with massive repairs. Sportiva claims they are easy to resole but the time you would resole they are completely decomposed, mainly due to the poor toetip construction (no toetip reinforcement at all). CAUTION the new model Trango EVO has seemingly the same construction, although many weak points in the heel/ankle area reinforced.

No insulation whatever, ideal for dry weather rock climbing. After all they are the Ferraris among shoes: fast light Italian design, much broken down, uncomfortable and expensive, but you never will forget the feeling once they are in movement.
