Tom Randall Instagram – When a shoe sponsor doesn’t make the shoe you need 😂. Back in the day, me and @petewhittaker01 wanted a prototype we called “The Spatula Foot” for ultra thin roof crack climbing… not surprisingly, our sponsor wasn’t convinced by the commercial viability so I went rogue and started making them at home.
Did it work?
No 😂
But these things are always worth a go and sometimes a little ‘crazy’ gets you further than you think. I’m sure I heard of someone having carbon inserts in their edging shoe at some point too??
Shout out to @unparallelup for making actual proper good crack shoes these days (UP Rise Pro) which does everything you want to when it comes to roof cracks (see last post on the indoor crack) | Posted on 17/Jun/2023 12:59:27
