Owns both: the Boostic relaxes a bit with use and takes a while to soften enough for volumes and dual-tex.

mixed

Just got Boostics half a size down: way tighter and more supportive than their VSRs in the same size.

positive

Has two pairs of the 2021 Boostic, one resoled five times, and it holds its downturn and upper superbly; good for steep routes, but sags when hot.

mixeddurable

With a wide but low-volume forefoot and Egyptian toes, finds the Boostic a perfect fit, along with Katanas and Instincts.
