I have a pair of KSO's I have started using for slacklining and Bouldering too! Being able to spread my toes around a hold or use one toe to get purchase on a rock beats scumming anytime.
@Patrickclimbs True, I use mine for beach bouldering, the sand and water means I don't usually need a spotter or Crash Pads... But they do provide insane balance, and that gives in turn, amazing stability for climbing.
Hmmm... I've been trying to convince myself to buy these exact ones because my back pain goes away when I wear them, but they look so ridiculous! lol I don't know though, if you can climb like that in them, it might be worth it to just get them.
I've always wondered this about free climbers.. Do you..find a path to take before climbing..or just run up to it find it on the go?? As in competition I can see finding that path for quickness but free climbers..wouldn't that be more of the reason for free climbing is that I don't need a path I make a path? The challenge.. Thanks..
@iceman241111 It's not like he's spiderman or something dude. He's just a man. And if he were to try to run up the wall like he had super powers he'd bust his ass pretty quickly.

@wannabesurvivalist Climb in what you got!! I know tons of guys that will climb in jeans just roll them up like a girls pair of capris. I usually try to avoid jeans when im climbing out doors because the seams chaffe when im hiking to the boulders. I'll usually wear cargo pants and roll them up outdoors and work out shorts when i go to the climbing gym.
these shoes are best for beach and river use climbing, running. not so much. you need a concentrated point like climbing shoes are designed for. besisdes what is this route? a 5.6? lame.

I gym climb boulder and free climb in my five fingers and I must say they are most likely the best climbing experince my feet have had
What model do you use, my ones haven't got great grip and I'm trying to figure out which ones would be best for bouldering?
He made that..LOOK..easy! Beautiful!!
nice bloc, good climbing! in Brazil this kind of boulder is called "high ball"
well done, that was awesome!
THIS IS SO AWESOME, !!!
excellent video
How long have your 5 fingers lasted so far, climbing on rock? & are they pretty sticky, do your feet slide around in them at all? Nice video!

I want some kso`s so I can go hiking in Colorado when I go there again
they are also great in paintball they don't slip easily and they allow you to run faster than you would with shoes
Beast.
Nice clip. Looks like fun. Gonna get some five fingers and maybe give it a try in the Italian Dolomites. By the way. Top tune, what is it?
@deserttrailrunning I boulder alot, but i climb normal aswell... You do trail run?? never heard of it? isn't very popular in europe i think... ciao
Great video! Anyone know what the music used is?
Pretty nice, how did you get down? I just got my five fingers for kayak surfing, nice to see its versatility.
I see how he got up, but how did he get down?
Cool

so, are they good for rock climbing or bouldering?
This is how people used to run away from lions :)

@dakid711 There's always an easier way to downclimb. But it's definitely sketchier when you're highballing like this.
@GingerVlog why?
I don't think that a mountain goat could scale that.....
@wannabesurvivalist Yessss. Verv or blur or prana..
@mdrrdm426
I was wondering the same thing.
this looks dangerous. I won't do it. :)
This was in Utah right? Are you guys Mormons?
So you are willing to sacrifice your physical well being for looks?
