User Review: La Sportiva Venom

La Sportiva Venom
Above: The current Venom, which may differ slightly from the version reviewed.

Rating: rated 5 of 5 stars
Break-in Period: 2 months
Price Paid: 115 CND

LOVE THEM. My last pair was Anasazi women's, which are a great shoe...but once I got used to edging with them and heel hooking and once they broke in I absolutely love them...every time I go for those big outstretched moves and release my core by accident the shoe keeps on stickin...It feels like cheating, and though they are primarily for sport and bouldering they're totally fine on vertical crimping routes. They edge great and they're super sensitive.
