Helix Men's F25

Finally got my feet into the flat last and it’s a game changer for all-day crack climbing—no more hot spots after a few pitches. The classic randing feels sturdy and precise on small edges, though I did size down half a step for a snug fit. For the price, these punch way above their weight.

The padded tongue makes these way more comfortable than my old shoes for all-day cragging, and the flat last is perfect for my wide feet. They grip well right out of the box with no painful break-in.

The padded tongue makes these much more comfortable for all-day climbing than I expected from a performance shoe. I do wish the sizing info was a bit clearer, but once dialed in they fit like a glove.
