Wore out the ones I had again, need more.

Yeah, I have some new Mythos and as much as I try to like them I'm just not a fan - too thin and too soft for my taste. And I have some TC Pros I really like in that Kaukulator sort of way for when the going get's tough. But for most of my non-project, just-get-out-and-move climbing I unashamedly love those damn Ventors. No doubt it's from my ghetto roots from down in the hollers.

So now come'on y'all, I know someone's still gotta have a pair laying around they wouldn't caught dead in out in public. Let me buy them - please.

Among their current shoes, I think this is the shoe that comes closest: https://www.lasportiva.com/en/tx2?options=26354

Marlow, thanks, that is just a sneaker versus the Ventors are actual climbing shoes with a sneaker heel. I think the Sportiva Gandas came closer, but seemed clunky to me - probably should have gotten some anyway...
