What are your preferred 12+ slab climbing shoes?

Finding this slab thing impossible over 12’s, tried TC’s and moc’s thinking of switching to a furia or something equally soft/aggressive. Ideas? 

You're probably having trouble because friction slab past 5.11 is actually impossible...

FiveTen quantum’s. 

Sportiva Barracudas...oh wait...they just discontinue every shoe i love

Blancas or verdes

Scarpa instincts if they fit your feet. Best shoe ive ever worn. I heard boostics are great slab edging shoes as well.. get something stiff but responsive. Soft rubber rolls too much for me while edging on the slab. Instincts have 4mm vibram edge rubber.. love the stuff. Gl!

Miura lace ups are my go to. Unless there is a shallow or slopey toe hook involved... Make sure your shoes toebox' aren't soaked with sweat

Crimp harder to take the weight off your feet.

5.12 or size 12?   

Crocs

2x4's with sticky rubber 

Really fucking tight muiras 

Another vote for lace-up Miuras

Wow, there’s an amazing number of folks on here climbing 12+ slab.

La sportiva Genius. More supportive than the futura, but still smears and smedges like a beast. Plus the laces let you dial in the fit really well (like the lace up miura).

Until they get down rated

When I onsight soloed Hall of Mirrors I was wearing Tarantulaces.

Depends on the rock type and specific routes. It ain't pure friction smearing past 11+, but it can still lean toward smearing with hard crimps or it can lean toward tiny edging.

f it's more on the smearing front I use dragos.
If it's a toss up/balance I like chimeras.
If it's leaning toward the small edging it's 1st gen testarossas (you can see a lot of examples of hard slab in squamish being sent with them for a reason). 

What I don't like for anything hard are fully flat lasted shoes, when the hands suck I really like being able to pull my hips into a rockover simply from my toe on a crystal. Can't do that the same in a flat shoe.

Are you saying pure friction smearing doesn't exist past 11+?
