There are instances where I am going to need a climbing shoe with laces, such as outdoor crack climbing and the like. For this reason, I decided today to order two pairs of Lowa Rocket Lace climbing shoes. They are the same as the Lowa Rocket climbing shoes, except they have laces instead of the slipper-style with Velcro strap fastening system. I ordered the same size – 7.5 (M) US – in hopes that the Rocket Lace climbing shoes will fit the same or similarly enough to the original Rocket climbing shoes to work for those situations where I need a lace-up rock shoe. If they do not work, I guess I can always return them or sell them to someone for whom they will work.
I am incredibly impressed with the Lowa Rocket climbing shoes, and that is why I am willing to try out their lace-up version of the shoe. This shoe is just everything I have ever wanted in a climbing shoe and I hope that Lowa continues to make the Lowa Rocket climbing shoes, even with the new lace-up version that they came out with this year (2018). We will see how I like the Rocket Lace climbing shoes. Updates pending…
