Been a long-time supporter. They are the only shoes I climb in, and there are about 12 pairs in my closet right now.

I know and climb with several people who work there or have worked there in the past. Not seeing, nor hearing good things lately, from their focus, to community/athlete relations, to product. Maybe it will work itself out, maybe not. But the sounds I'm hearing from the inside are anything but reassuring at the moment.

What happened once Charles sold the company?

I'm alive because of those shoes.

I'd probably be dead if I would worn some other shoes rubber.

There was one Rescue where I was the only one going across wet slabs where everyone else wouldn't do it without me putting a tether line for them to clip in.

It's all about money now ain't it?

Still have 2 pair of 1st gen Verticals that could use another resole (my favorite shoe), and this pair of Micros' with original soles (from 86 ?).
