I'm a beginner and looking to add a second pair of shoes to my closet. I started with the tarantulace and do like them but I have started to slightly round them and find myself wa thing more edging performance. I've been really looking at some of the ocun moderate shoes like the Jett but nowhere local to Phoenix has them. I'd like to know generally some opinions on the brand before I look into them more seriously as I'll have to travel to buy or order them in.
No opinion here. Never used them. Out of curiosity what has drawn you to the Ocun brand? FWIW if you like you’re tarantulaces it might be time to look into a resole if the edges are rounded.
I’ve not worn them, but i know people who climb in them and they seem to like them. Ocun makes high quality stuff, much more popular in Europe than here in the Americas.

The combination of the 3 force rigidity system plus wide specific models are the big things that piqued my interest.
I do plan to keep the tarantulace and resole. But I'm also looking to get a second pair of shoes with more edging performance. Also being a size 12 I have a feeling I'll want a stiffer midsole to help the toe stability on smaller holds.
