The purple shoes are Modelo A-1's made over five years ago. They are not made anymore.
Tea tree oil rules - I got the same problem!

Mythos. They've been my sub-5.10 shoe for the last 10 years. They even work on 5.10 without a problem. Somewhere in that range, I switch to Miuras for the better toe and edging.

I use two shoes on long or all-day climbs, depending on the route (I have Morton's toe, but no fungus).
I like the Mythos for slab and thin crack and I use my very old Aces (the black ones with neon green on them) for climbs with more face holds or wider cracks. I climbed Royal Arches plus Crest Jewel (about 25 pitches) in the Mythos.

Big fan of the Aztecs also. My pair are have been holding up just fine climbing four days a week all summer and I'll definitely resole them when the time comes but if or when they kick the bucket I will buy another pair for sure.

Phantom Fugitive-
I bought the v-mile and I have to send them back. I usually fit a size 8, I bought the 8 and I can't even get my foot into them.
Do I buy my street size or something?
I loved the five ten ascents, but they don't appear to be making them anymore. Not the best performance, but damn they are comfy.

I second Scared Silly's comment about 5.10 Pitons, very comfy for the all dayer.

For an all day shoe, I have been using the 5.10 Huecos for years, but I really want a pair of the Acopa JB's - they look sweet! :-)

Apologies if repeating what's already said here... just skimmed the thread.
Best all-day shoe is the one that fits your foot well and is not too tight. But the replies on this thread show that opinions vary.
edit: MisterE, I've got a pair of unused size 12 Acopa JBs for sale.

Well since nobody has mentioned it yet, I have a couple pairs of Evolv Bandits sized snug but toes flat. They are my all day shoes, and what I climb harder trad with due to the nice toe profile. I also got the extended toe rand, this increases comfort and friction in smaller cracks. Those shoes I have worn nonstop on 14 hour days before.

I had a pair of 5-10 Ascents that were the greatest for all day climbing.
I have v-miles now for a long route shoe. They work well and are relatively comfy..though still not broke in.
Note: the new v-miles are equipped with Stealth onyx rubber. imho the c-4 is much better.

For all you Mythos fans, when you get them resoled do you specify different rubber, like c4?

Old Cragger, if you like Mythos try the new Scarpa Techno- same comfort but more precise and better edging.

Huecos.
Mister E, stick with the Huecos (this from a guy who owns 2 pairs of JBs) unless you've got a wide fetish.
