| hd7crash's Full Review: Boreal Stinger |
After I destroyed my first pair of climbing shoes, I decided I needed to purchase an outstanding pair. So I went to my local rock gym tried out some demo shoes and I had a tuff decision between purchasing the Boreal Stingers, Diablos, and Spirits. I finally chose the Stingers due to the fact that they were the most comfortable, they smear very well thanks to the "Fusion S-2" rubber, and there is also a ventilation system that keeps your feet cool. Another feature that I enjoy is the new nylon band lacing system. This enables the shoes to be one with the foot. The shoe features a slightly more asymmetric toe shape and a prosthetic toe crest. The Stinger provides precision per sensitivity ratio unlike any shoe ever made in other words if you have strong feet then these shoes will help you excel.
