Mad Rock Shoe Review

This is a link to a blog post about the Mad Rock Shark 2.0 review. My usual shoe is the La Sportive Miuras and the Shark 2.0 really impressed me. I would compare them to the La Sportiva Solutions except I liked the heal cup better in the Sharks. If any other questions, feel free to ask!

Im interested in these but not sure on sizing. What is your normal shoe size and what did you go with for the Sharks?

TRASH. shitty ruber and inferior manufacturing.

Ditto.. these shoes have been around for years and have shown NO improvement in any rendition. Bad fit, terrible rubber quality. MadRock can and has done much better with other shoes.

I went with a size smaller than my regular street shoe size.

I haven't really been a fan of most of the Mad Rock line and am a regular wearer of the Miuras (favorite). However, I found these to be a pretty decent shoe (Shark 2.0). They were intended to be more of a gym/competition shoe and were worn by a lot of pro athletes at the latest ABS competition.

I'm not sure what you mean by "a proper testing in the gym." Seems like an oxymoron...

the climber makes the difference ... before some little girl swtiched to 5.10, she sent pure imagination in mad rocks ...

for every MPer trashing a particular shoe/brand/rubber ... theres someone out in the real world sending much harder stuff in that particular item ;)
