What climbers keep saying · from 7 reviews

comfortable3precise edging3needs break-in1

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

positiveprecise edging

The Otakis are great, but nowhere near as precise as Solutions and toe hooks aren't amazing.

mixed

Otakis are their daily performance shoe: a stiffer Skwama that doesn't get enough love.

positive

With super wide feet, really loves the Otaki for comfort and can wear it half an hour straight for sport climbing.

positivecomfortable

Otakis 3 sizes down hurt at first; after 4 months can wear them 2 hours.

mixedneeds break-in

Otaki was by far the most comfortable even heavily downsized; two hours without pause.

positivecomfortable

Stands on pretty much any tiny foothold in Otakis; heel and toe hooks not great.

mixedprecise edging

Enjoys the stiffness of their Otakis for standing on tiny footholds after 4-5 years.
