I find them so much more natural for my feet than any flat pair of shoes I have ever had. I am now experiencing a slight problem though. My left foot is nearly a whole size bigger than my right and so the knuckle on my left big toe is very tightly pressed against the top of the stix, so much so that I am starting to get a lump there. Would this be resolved by getting one size bigger shoes or are all the toe boxes that height. Is there any other way of getting round this as apart from that I have no problem with this size. Hope that makes sense!<br /><br />Thanks so muchAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31845824.post-53713691769097833782009-10-07T12:37:30.140+01:002009-10-07T12:37:30.140+01:00Would another option for the likes of your Longhop...Would another option for the likes of your Longhope project (a lot of easier pitches and just one very hard one) not be to just take 2 pairs of shoes on the route?

One thing the Stix do a lot better is toe hook. But it's possible these feelings come down to my foot shape rather than anything else. The more different shoes you can try, the more likely you are to find the perfect one.Dave MacLeodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02442169589581067050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31845824.post-15464204734864902692009-10-06T21:16:20.665+01:002009-10-06T21:16:20.665+01:00I've been using the Scarpa Mago for a year and...I've been using the Scarpa Mago for a year and they are great. How would you compare the Stix to the Mago? Is there something that the Stix does better? Thanks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
