Blackbird

Bought Blackbirds half a size down: super stiff edging monsters; the carbon tensioner means only the heel flexes.

Blackbirds are great for micro edging, made tiny feet on their project usable, and smear better than TC Pros or Katanas thanks to softer rubber.

Took Blackbirds on an all-day trad multipitch: comfortable yet stiff and edges well; finally no trade-off between comfort and performance.

After big-toe joint trouble that kept them off one foot for weeks, can't speak highly enough of the Blackbird.
