Absolutely loves their RedLines: very soft but not in the rubber so they last, and with no midsole you feel every hold.

Has climbed in RedLine Straps for about 3 years as their main shoe for everything, including v10s; very durable.
Likes their RedLines quite a bit, but they hurt their toes on small footholds when standing on them.
Has RedLine Straps and Skwamas: both great but different; the Mad Rocks are much narrower with a shallower-feeling heel.
Settled on the RedLine when the D2.ONE sold out and it's even better: slightly softer, which they prefer.
Loves their RedLines in street size: much easier and shorter break-in than LV Drones; fit perfectly though not low volume; had to switch for toe arthritis.
The RedLine Strap is their favorite shoe of all time: much more sensitive, with great fit and performance out of the box.
Their least favourite shoe: too narrow for their medium-wide feet, crushing the sides, and it barely stretched after a month; soft and bendy but not good for edging, and nearly gave a blister under the big toe. Fine rubber, but not for their foot shape.
Uses the RedLine Strap in the gym: very good, not too soft and not too hard.
After heel problems in Dragos, their RedLine Straps climb very similarly and they love them; fits their heel perfectly.
Their RedLine Straps perform well but are less comfortable and feel cheaper than Scarpas; wouldn't buy another pair.
After trying many shoes, calls the RedLine Strap hands down the best all-round climbing shoe they have used; wears it a size 42 against a 44.5 street size with a Greek foot.
“I have tried many shoes and the redline strap are hands down the best shoes I’ve used for all round climbing.”
With wider feet, finds the RedLine Strap crushes their little toes even half a size above street size.
“I have VSR lvs -.5 from street size and redlines +.5 and they absolutely crush my pinkies... I do have wider feet though”
Rates the RedLine Strap 7/10: the fit isn't ideal for their foot, so they wear street size, but it is very soft with great toe rubber, and they keep buying it.
“fitment not ideal for my foot shape so i have to rock them at street shoe size. extremely soft shoe as well with insane toe rubber.”
