What climbers keep saying · from 10 reviews

Has worn the Tarantulace for about 1.5 years and enjoys them: comfortable enough to climb without ripping them off, but they don't last, with the toes destroyed several times.

mixedcomfortablewears out fast

Owns the Tarantulace as a comfortable, non-aggressive shoe they can easily wear all day; 10/10 would recommend.

positivecomfortablegreat value

Climbs mostly in Tarantulaces and Finales and finds them comfortable workhorses.

positive

Tarantulaces feel cheap next to TC Pros but are all-day comfortable for crack climbing.

mixedcomfortable

Their (old) Tarantulaces are very painful to jam in compared to TC Pros and edge worse.

negativepainful

Several Tarantulace pairs self-destructed; uniquely cheap and terrible shoes.

negativewears out fast

Tarantulaces were their first pair and got the job done until V5-6 slabs and overhangs with smaller feet.

mixed

With wide feet they love their Tarantulaces; comfortable to climb in.
