Does anyone have any experience w the boostics? Ive been using the Feroce for the past 4 years on trad, sport, indoor, and bouldering and love everything about them. I've destroyed my current pair and am either in the market for another pair of the feroce but the boostic look promising.

touche, hah. I've just seen the rave reviews of the boostics and am curious. The feroce was revolutionary to me, I'm just wondering if the boostic offers the same plus some.

The Boostic is a different shoe with a different feel to it. It is not a Feroce with extras. Check out their feature list on Scarpas Website. The Boostic is really great on limestone. Therefore you might want to take a pair with you when you visit Rifle, Tensleep, Shelf Road etc. You can literally stand on ANYTHING with a pair of Boostics on your feet.
They don´t perform well on cracks but are more highly specialized sport climbing shoes. I love them. Great shoes!

+1 They perform well on sandstone, as well.

I love my boostics.

EDIT> If you have ever climbed with the boosters, they are pretty much the same as the boosters just more low volume and a better fitting heel. The last is supposedly more asymmetrical and completely redesigned but it is very similar to the previous models. I sized mine a tad bigger than my boosters, but I downsized the hell outta both. I love the vibram rubber and it performs very well on stone. Also this shoe is very stiff compared to 5.10 or Evolv. The heel redesign is great. If you have any questions shoot up a reply, I'll answer them to the best of my ability.
Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
