Shoes, Shoes and more Shoes

I thought I'd open up a post for people to talk about their shoes.  What are you wearing to climb?  Why?  What do you like about them? What do you hate about them?  Would you buy them again if you were buying new shoes?

I'll start.  I wear Saltic Falco shoes. 



I love them.  They have a wide toe box and a very narrow heel and they fit my feet like they were designed just for me.  Most shoes out there are just too big in the heel for me. 

This model is very technical.  The arch on them is insane. When I first tried them on, I believe my exact words were "They hurt so good!"  I actually love everything about them.  If I ever had a bad resoling experience, these would be the shoes that I would buy to replace mine. 

They are made by a Czech company and extremely hard to find in the US.  I would love to be able to try on all of the Saltic styles to find a more casual shoe because sometimes, I just don't want or need something this technical.

Seconding. Their rubber seems to be widely derided.
