UnParallel - UP-Duel - Climbing shoes tested

I own two pairs of these now such is how much I enjoy climbing in them. They're easy to put on and take off, very comfortable, and I can climb most things very well in them. The rubber is soft so this makes it great for slab climbing. It isn't too good for edging though, and I really struggled using this in kalymnos and climbing indoors where I had to step on small edges, but for everything else (indoor bouldering and sport), it was perfect.

The shoes are so comfortable it is like wearing plimsoles! I could wear these all day without any pain.

The only downside (and it's a small downside) is that you can't really heel hook with these as they peel off, but for the odd climb i need to heel hook i just use my UP uplaces.

Been using this shoe for 6 months now. It's a soft shoe which is good for smearing and stepping on volumes indoor. Not a great for small edges but I don't think that is its intended use. Have not experiences any stretch in the upper. I wear a 44 street shoe and have this shoe in a 43.
