Has both Otaki and Vapor V: the Otaki is much stiffer with a slightly narrower toe box; wears it for overhangs and micro edges.

The Otakis are great, but nowhere near as precise as Solutions and toe hooks aren't amazing.
Otakis are their daily performance shoe: a stiffer Skwama that doesn't get enough love.
Otakis have worked really well for a very wide midfoot and narrow heel.
With super wide feet, really loves the Otaki for comfort and can wear it half an hour straight for sport climbing.
Otakis were their first shoes: good all around and comfy.
Otakis 3 sizes down hurt at first; after 4 months can wear them 2 hours.
Otakis ripped at a strap loop; La Sportiva repaired them free.
Otaki was by far the most comfortable even heavily downsized; two hours without pause.
Stands on pretty much any tiny foothold in Otakis; heel and toe hooks not great.
Enjoys the stiffness of their Otakis for standing on tiny footholds after 4-5 years.
Prefers their Otakis for routes mixing thin cracks and face climbing.
