    How we test climbing 80mm Shoes

    We leave no stone unturned when it comes to scrutinizing the footwear for our comprehensive reviews. We bring all pairs to the Stefoy-les-lyonShops shoe testing lab for a meticulous go-over. We then take the 80mm Shoes in actual climbing challenges to assess their real value.

    Our process includes:

    • Purchasing pairs of climbing kicks for men for the tests. We spend our own money to maintain the independence and objectivity of our reviews and rankings.
    • Putting in hours of climbing outside and in the gym to evaluate the real-life performance of each particular model. We perform a battery of tests to determine the strengths and weaknesses of the 80mm Shoes.
    • Taking notes of the model’s out-of-the-box fit and comfort, beak-in period, edging and smearing prowess, closure system, outsole traction, durability, versatility, et cetera.
    • Gathering more insights from reviews and testimonials from pros, veteran climbers, and passionate climbing enthusiasts.

    To end the process, all the pairs of men’s climbing 80mm Shoes in the selection are given their overall ratings. Each model is assigned a CoreScore from 0 to 100.
