Can Anything Be Done To Tornado-Proof A House?
Linda Wertheimer talks to Professor Andrew Graettinger of the University of Alabama about what can be to strengthen buildings and save lives when tornadoes strike. He was part of a study that looked at the structural impact of the 2011 tornadoes that ripped through Joplin, Mo., and Tuscaloosa, Ala.

As you heard, repairing the physical damage to Moore, Okla., will take a long time. Reducing that time, and the damage these storms cause, is something Andrew Graettinger is working on. He's a civil engineer and a professor at the University of Alabama. And he was part of a study that looked at the structural impact of the 2011 tornados that ripped through Joplin, Mo., and Tuscaloosa, Ala. He joins us now. Good morning, Dr. Graettinger.
ANDREW GRAETTINGER: Good morning.
WERTHEIMER: Now, it's hard to imagine more thorough destruction than occurred when that tornado plowed up Moore, Okla. Houses are reduced to shards and shreds. Should something be done - can anything be done to tornado-proof a house?
GRAETTINGER: Well, when we looked at what happened in Tuscaloosa and then unfortunately, we had the opportunity to go right back and do the same study in Joplin just a month later, we looked at the path that the tornado took. And we kind of walked across it, and saw that the damage level on the edges was much lower than in the center.
And when we started to understand the wind speeds that would cause the damage on the edges, we found out that about 85 percent of that area - in both Tuscaloosa and Joplin - we could engineer to protect those homes, and reduce the amount of damage that was occurring in those homes.
WERTHEIMER: What would you have to do?
GRAETTINGER: Well, we can leverage some of the technology that they're using along the Gulf Coast, in hurricane regions. So we could use hurricane clips, which are at the top of the wall, and they connect to the roof; and that would hold the roof on. And then, if you hold your roof on, you need to hold - you need to continue that path down into the foundation so at the bottom of the wall, you need to put a hurricane strap on, which then straps the bottom of the wall to the foundation.
WERTHEIMER: Would this be very expensive to do?
GRAETTINGER: They're not very expensive. These hurricane clips and straps, they're maybe about a dollar apiece, or even a little bit less than that. You'd need several hundred of them for a house; and then, of course, installation costs. Now, you'd do this on new construction. Trying to retrofit an existing home with these clips and straps is very expensive, so that wouldn't be an option.
But remember, we've got two levels of damage. We've got this level of damage we can engineer for at the lower wind speeds. But then in the center of that storm, it's complete destruction. Even the wood is breaking. And so what you need to have, in those areas, is a safe room to go to. So it's kind of a dual objective.
At the lower wind speeds, we try and keep your house together and protect it with those hurricane clips and straps. And at those higher wind speeds, we're looking for life safety; and that means a safe room in your house.
WERTHEIMER: What would a safe room have to be? What would it need, to be safe?
GRAETTINGER: Well, FEMA has designs out for safe rooms and storm shelters, and so these are well-designed. They're reinforced; typically, it's concrete. It could be made out of steel, and you could even make it out of wood with steel reinforcing in it. So there's a number of ways you can design a safe room, and you can even put them underground and build them that way. So there's a number of different designs, and they're designed to handle those EF5-kind of wind speeds.
WERTHEIMER: I gather that nothing could really protect property against a storm like Moore, Okla., but you think you could protect people. What about those old-fashioned storm cellars - like my grandmother, who lived in Oklahoma, had one in her backyard. I remember lots of nights waking up in that thing.
GRAETTINGER: Yes. It's a great place if that's where you have to go. And of course, safe spots in your house - like in the bathroom, or something in the center of the house or the basement, if that's all you have, those are the best places to go. But you want to make sure that something like a root cellar, or something like that, has a proper tornado door on there also, because you don't want any impacts to get in, like a flying piece of debris to break through the door or the door to be pulled off.
But any one of those locations that we had talked about, those are all good places to go if that's where you have to go.
WERTHEIMER: Andrew Graettinger is a professor at the University of Alabama. Thank you very much for joining us.
GRAETTINGER: Oh, you're welcome.

I'm Playing…
Posted by kmarrs under I Might Just Be A Gamer Geek | Permalink | | Leave A Comment
EVE Online and Dungeons and Dragons Online.
You have to buy EVE and pay a monthly fee to play it. However, DDO is completely free and a lot of fun. You should go download it. David, I'm looking at you. You should go download. You, David.
It seems we aren't playing wow anymore. I'm not playing anything by myself so I go where my/the boys go.
2 Responses to " I'm Playing… "
September 19th, 2009 at 7:33 PMLOL oh no!!! I've been called out!
I did look at the DDO site, and it does look interesting (though I also read the forums and saw a lot of the complaints too), but I just don't have access to the computer often enough to make it worthwhile. And it won't play on our laptop (which is over 5 years old).
The way it is now, the only time I could regularly play would be Saturday and Sunday mornings.
I promise that, if we ever buy another laptop that's more up to date and can handle it, I will play whatever you're playing at the time (DDO or whatever new thing comes along). As long as it's free.
How does that sound?
September 19th, 2009 at 8:45 PMThe free part is the hard part. So few mmorpgs are free and worth playing.

Application DetailsI applied in-person. The process took 2+ weeks – interviewed at Mary Kay in December 2009.
Interview DetailsObtaining the interview was easier than normal since I was already working there as a contractor. But, since they hardly automatically convert contractors to full-time employees. I had to apply. They set up the bar so high and always find one bullet point in the job description to hold on to that. This Business Analyst position that I applied required some financial background, but they made it seem like you have to have a Financial degree with masters in technology.
This was not the only position I applied for, but the process is the same. The interview process is more intended for you to get disappointed, making you feel you don't qualify (even though you have 90% of the requirements). And to tell you the truth there is people inside that you ask yourself how in the world they got hired. The Culture and benefits were great back in 2006, but they have been decaying over the years considerably. Hopefully it gets back like it was before.Interview Questions- Why would make you a good fit for this position? View Answer

Interview DetailsThey gave me a phone call interview. But it took almost 1 month waiting for the result although I emailed to check for several times. The interview process was quite good. However they didn't accept me.

I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 4 days – interviewed at Mary Kay.
Interview DetailsI secured my interview through an outside recruiting agency and was told where to go, which HR rep to ask for upon arrival, and how long the process should take (they wanted it on a day when I already had a doctor appointment scheduled so I needed to be done by a certain time). When I arrived, I went to the "Human Resources Lobby" which was completely abandoned. I went to the main front desk and asked Security to let the HR rep know I was there. She never arrived. About 10 minutes after my interview was scheduled to begin, the actual managers came in to interview me. The interview itself lasted for the time I was told to expect, but then I was required to take multiple skills tests that I was not told about. The HR rep finally made an appearance to set these up for me, then quickly left me alone again without any means of contacting her should I have any problems. Which I did. The computer froze when I was about halfway into the first test (over an hour after I was scheduled to leave forcing me to cancel my doctor appointment at the last minute). I ended up having to finish the skills tests at home over the weekend and miss more work to make up the doctor appointment I had missed. The whole thing was ridiculous and thinking back on it, I'm questioning why I took the job.
Interview Questions- There weren't any difficult or unexpected questions but I was required to take time-consuming, intensive skills tests that I was not expecting, causing me to miss additional work/personal commitments. These should have been mentioned when I asked about the length of time needed for the interview so that I could plan accordingly. Answer Question

Utility district lowers threat level at Wanapum Dam
The Grant County Public Utility District lowered the classification Tuesday night.
The downgrade is the result of engineering surveys conducted Monday and Tuesday that show continued stabilization of the 65-foot long crack found last week on one of the dam's spillways.
As of 6 p.m. Tuesday, surveys show that the impacted area is stable.
The PUD says the fracture has closed and the damaged section of the spillway monolith has moved back upstream by nearly 1.75 inches. That's the result of the utility's actions to lower water above Wanapum Dam and reduce pressure on the damaged spillway.
The dam is located a few miles south of Vantage on the Columbia River.

It's only a few months ago, and by a strange coincidince, that I began a snail-mail correspondence with another descendant of Pleasant K.'s, another Charles Kirksey, this one of North Carolina. If you (or anyone else who might be interested) will e-mail me at email@example.com, I'll send more details plus the other Charles' address. Charles

What is a "natural consequence" for your child not answering questions?
Our son (almost 4 yrs old) purposefully doesn't answer us if he is grumpy or doesn't like what we are talking about or is unsure, in amongst other things. He will just grunt or make squeaky/whingy sounds or ignore. We are trying to get him to understand that not answering someone else's questions (or not even questions, but someone saying hello or goodbye) is rude and makes the other person sad/frustrated/confused. We have tried to relate it to him by reminding him of times when people have not heard him or not understood him. Any thoughts? Or is just "one of those things"? #2Posted 20 December 2012 - 08:25 AM
If he is a "normal" kid with normal cognitive function then he's old enough to understand that he's being deliberately rude. I'd just put him on Time Out and briefly explain how he was being rude and how he made the other person feel. And then I'd make him apologise to the other person.
I'm sure there's other EBer's who'll just say to ignore it or he's too young for Time Out's but that's what I'd do in our family. #3Posted 20 December 2012 - 08:43 AM QUOTE (Madame Catty @ 20/12/2012, 06:35 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I don't think there is any point forcing him to be polite. Model the behaviour you want (we make a point of making eye contact and give a big cheery Hello! when getting up in the morning, coming home, etc) and keep giving him reminders. I agree with that. I would say that it is not nice to talk like that or that its nice to say hello and goodbye just explain behaviour that you want #4Posted 20 December 2012 - 09:21 AM
Sounds like he is avoiding a situation he doesn't like because he either doesn't want to do the thing being asked, or doesn't know the answer. I would look at giving him a few "scripts" to use when he is in this situation. Keep reinforcing that responding is important, and give him options, and make it clear that those options are acceptable. Let him know that he can say "I don't know" or "I don't want to right now" and that this is ok.
The "I don't know" thing you're probably going to be happy with. But the "I don't want to right now" response requires you to think about how you respond in kind. If the response is "well you have to" then that's not going to entice anybody to respond. My approach is to always allow negotiation if feasible, or warmly explain reasons why we have to do things if they just have to be done. You could also talk about giving him the script and space to say "I just need a moment to finish what I'm doing". Just some thoughts. #5Posted 20 December 2012 - 09:28 AM
Two thoughts:
1) Have you ruled out that his behavior is in fact deliberate? There are a bunch of things (e.g. hearing issues, processing issues) that could make it difficult for a child to answer questions/engage in polite "chit chat" and could make them surly in the process. 2) If you know that there's nothing else going on beyond "rudeness," I think Tesseract's suggestion below is a good one because it focuses on giving him some TOOLS that he can use (and I agree with Madame Catty's advice as well). We do a lot of social role playing with our daughter. I find that when I do it OTT/infuse some silliness, she is much more receptive. I would also try to "catch him being good" -- that is, praise him when he does in fact use his words appropriately and/or when he responds to something. Good luck!

Thanks for your thoughts everyone. No issues with hearing or cognitive. He can be and often is very polite, answering questions, asking his own. But just sometimes, he does not. And he is rude about it.
We will keep persevering, similar style to what has already been mentioned with reminders, thinking about others, praise etc. The scripts thing is useful, thanks. Glad to know it's not just him. Well, not 'glad' but you know what I mean. #7Posted 20 December 2012 - 02:08 PM
I wouldn't use time out for that. I would just keep reminding him without making a huge deal. If I make a huge deal mine do those things more

State Police have filed charges in connection with a wrong-way fatal crash on 490 in Rochester that happened early Saturday morning.
They say that 30 year old Robert Rector of Fairport now faces charges of vehicular manslaughter, manslaughter and drunk driving.
Troopers say that just before 3:00 a.m. Saturday, Rector was driving eastbound in the westbound lanes without headlights on 490 near Ames Street when his vehicle crashed into a car driven by 19 year old Khadijah McKenzie of Gates. She was pronounced dead at the hospital.
Rector was treated for minor injuries. The Monroe County District Attorney is also investigating.

Mood-sensitive jewelry, emotive flowers and emotional lighting. Today we hunt: EMOTIONOLOGY - Sprint firsts in mood-based tech.
With growing technological advances and the increasing number of digital social outlets, it's easy to fear losing human emotional ties. Scientists and techies alike are exploring the world of emotion and how it can be applied to technology. Sacrificing human emotion will not be an issue if these experiments are kept up.
And now, the Sprint Top Ten.
10. The SKIN project explores the possibility of electronic ink with the capability of reflecting gestures and emotions. I think I can guess what emotion these two are feeling…
9. Scared of caring for real foliage due to your not-so-green thumb? The Flower Nurse is perfect for you! These pieces of tech decor change color when they are neglected and their leaves even start to droop when they aren't getting enough sun just like a real flower. However, this greenery can always be revived.
8. Feel lonely, like jogging, road-tripping or lost in thought? Stereo Mood is the place to go for creating a customized soundtrack to your life. They even have a "feel like crying" playlist for your next tear fest. (NOTE: Just pan the website for this visual.)
7.Peak Products' "Keep in Touch" device takes away your excuse of being distant. Complete with a mini tree, the more you nourish your long-distance relation ship, the more your tree will grow as well.
6. If you can't describe how you feel in words, use light! The E-lamp allows its users to express themselves via light intensity, color, temperature and angle. What a scary way to let your spouse know you're angry.
5. With the 'MeMe,' you'll never feel distance between you and your traveling loved ones again. This emotive gadget allows you to customize its look to reflect you and then update your mood via Internet or phone in order to have your little buddy mimic your feelings on his face.
4. What happens when you combine conductive ink and textile sensors? The Phillips VIBE Smotion senor—the perfect combination of tech and fashion.
3. Everyone has their own flavor so that's why Philippe Boulet designed a line of LED furniture that change depending on who is in the room and the temperature. Now if someone is giving off bad vibes, you can literally see them.
2. The Ghostly Discovery App lets users pick the tempo of their music to fit their exact preferences. The mood-based tagging system is exactly what you need if you're ready to get the party started and you need a good, up-tempo playlist fast.
1. If the color blue doesn't fit in your living room decor, you better not sit on the Mood Chair while feeling a little melancholy. This interactive piece of furniture changes color depending on how the person sitting on it is feeling at the moment.

at the same time. It is to this vibration that everything and every person
is linked, whether we (species Homo Sapiens) like it or not,
whether we are aware of it or not. Energy can neither be created
nor destroyed. This statement is Universal Law and is recognised as one
of the first principles of Science. Some people are conscious of the life
energies that exist, some are not. Energy can be transformed from
one form to another, but it cannot be created or destroyed. It follows
a simple harmony, a cycle. It follows the laws of attraction and repulsion.
Self image is an energy To hold on to any state, another
energy transference must take place. That is the reason we are so tired
- we physically tire ourselves from holding on to our emotions. We have
been doing that since before the time our parents first educated us to
the belief that it is not safe to laugh or cry, or express any of our
feelings. In fact, we have been educated not to feel at all. So we hold
onto fear, and hoard anger, resentment, greed .... Money is energy, fear is energy,
love is energy, fire is energy, hate is energy. Co-operation is energy.
Discord is energy. Some people are conscious of the interplay of energies
within themselves and within others. Others are not. We project our self image.
What runs every single living person and thing is the energy we and they
are. If we hold onto fear, if we
hold onto anger, if we hold onto greed, then that is the vibration that
runs us and is projected from us for everything and everybody around us
to pick up on. It is projected through personal contact, over the telephone
and at every 'Moment of Truth'. If we hold onto self respect
and become the embodiment of our true nature, then that is the vibration
projected from us onto everything and everyone around us. All people are
equal. There is no-one greater, no-one lesser. Sex, Love and Lifeforce This energy of Innocence is
our life force. The downward and outward expression of this lifeforce
is the expression of our sexuality. It is our perception of our sexuality,
our needs, wants and desires, which governs our perception of ourselves,
and those around us. Yet down through history, our sexuality has been
used, through moral judgement, to make us the slaves of those who seek
to control through the guise of religion. The repression and suppression
of our sexuality, the making of the genitalia 'dirty', directly represses
and suppresses our lifeforce into denial, creating layers of conflict
between the projections placed on our essence. The less energy expended in
dreams, fears and conflicts makes more positive energies available to
turn possibilities into probabilities. We move through Life in a series
of re-actions We react. We do not respond, we are incapable of being spontaneous.
We react to everything that Life brings us in its mirror. Reaction is
when denied feelings come to the surface - feelings that have been denied
by us and our parents and our parent's parents before us. These reactions are buried
deep in the subconscious and unconscious of each of us and they are down
there running us. All these emotions that have been suppressed are the
cause and the only cause of all the disease and all the disharmony that
exists within each of us, within all societies throughout the world and
within the planet itself.

The Energy of Innocence
Everything in this Universe,
in this world, and within each and every living and non living thing is
energy in some form or another. This includes people, plants, rocks, dirt,
water, soil and sand. It also includes our emotions, our feelings, thoughts,
dreams, desires and fear.
Depending on the mental and emotional state of the observer, the effects
of all of these energies can be seen to be either positive or negative.
Yet that state only exists for an instant, unless the observer chooses
to hold on to it. This is another scientifically accepted fact.
At our core, in our
basic essence, each and every one of us is equal. Underneath what we think
we are, we are the embodiment of innocence, which is the highest energy

What do you think of the
La Sportiva Tarantulace Climbing Shoe
? Share a...
Nick Chmura
Comfortable, performs well, but wears
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: Runs large
I wore these for 9 months, 1-2 times/week indoors top rope and bouldering. I also climbed outside about 4 times, sport and trad. I climb easier 5 10s inside and lead 5 8s or so outside. I personally prefer being comfortable climbing all day over having the best performing shoe, and these fit that role for me. I am between 9 and 9.5 running shoe, and I wear 41.5 in these. My only issue with these is after 9 months I have holes in both toes!! But $65 is such a good price that I just picked up another pair ...
Kayla Weiser
Great shoe for a beginner
- Familiarity: I gave it as a gift but have feedback to share
I picked these up as a gift for a friend. She's just getting into climbing, and these have been PERFECT. She's been bouldering a bunch, as well as getting on the ropes too- mostly in gym, as we're getting into winter. She says that this shoe is awesome though, fits her foot well and she's got a lot of control on the wall. Plus they're not super painful- always a plus! Sounds like she likes them, which makes me stoked to have another climbing partner!
La Sportiva Tarantulace Climbing Shoe
- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
I just ordered my second pair as after almost a year of inside and outside use , they have stood up very well. To get almost a year of a lot of climbing in is a sign of a good climbing shoe, an excellent buy.
I forgot to mention that I'm also re-souling my old pair as well.
Love these shoes!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: Runs large
These shoes are great! Very comfortable and they conform to your feet. I don't know how long the rubber will last on the outside but they might last a good six months or longer with climbing twice a week at a gym. They run big so order a size or two smaller.
Jared Downs
Atop - Tuff Enough
The fit on these is wonky. Definitely run large.

Good shoe for beginners
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: Runs large
It's comfy and not an aggressive shoe. I do think they run a little large compared to other shoes, so you should probably size down a little bit. My experienced climbing friends recommended these to me and I'm definitely pleased with the purchase.
Noah G.
Good all-around shoe
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
I've had these shoes for about a 2 months and they are a really good all-around, non-aggressive shoe. The size runs fairly true. My foot size is a US 10 (Euro 43). I stayed with that size and they perform well, but in retrospect, I would go down bit more.
After 2 months of gym climbing 3-4 days a weeks, there is a small bit of the sole pulling from the rand and a small bit of the gray leather that has ripped. All of that to say, they still perform really well.
My next pair will be more aggressive and a bit more snug, but if you're a beginner looking for a quality pair that are easy to fit, the Tarantulace is a great option.
H i, m new to this and I was wondering...
H i, m new to this and I was wondering since I wear a size 44 in my Vibrams what size should I get? The whole size smaller than street size confuses me.
Michael Nies
Since climbing shoes need to have a snug (NOT TIGHT!!!!) fit, many climbers recommend getting climbing shoes a US size smaller than your street shoe size. By that logic, if you wear a size 44 in street shoes, you should aim for a size 42-42.5 for your climbing shoes. La Sportiva fit, though, is a strange animal, and tends to run much smaller than street shoe size. I wear a US 14 (Euro 48) in street shoes, but a Mythos 44.5, a Testarossa 45, and a TC Pro 45.5. The only way I know this is because I tried on lots of shoes until I found what fit.
Unfortunately, getting well fitting climbing shoes isn't quite that easy, as several people have pointed out. Different shoes fit differently, and the only way to know is to try them on. These are definitely good starter shoes, and you can send them back to Backcountry if they don't fit. For your first pair you want something that is snug, but not painful. These will stretch (as will most climbing shoes), so starting with a pair that is a bit snugger than you think is comfortable is advisable. Good luck, and welcome to the rabbit hole that is climbing shoe fit!
Bear with me please, total newbie.
Bear with me please, total newbie.
Will these shoes work well for women too or should I look at the Tarantulace women's version (teal)?
Thank you.
Thank you.
Bill Porreca
So you may like this shoe, men and women climbing shoes can be interchangeable. Some men use women's shoes and vice versa, its all about fit. The women's shoes have a different shape more narrow and definitely a better fit for the heel but again all of our feet our different. Your best bet is to try a bunch of different pairs and see what works for you.
Wayne Christoffersen
If you are a total newb than I suggest going with comfort over performance since you are probably not throwing heel-hooks and edging on micros. Even if you have a narrow foot, getting the extra room from a men's shoe might be exactly what you need as a training wheel into the world of foot bondage that we call climbing.
anna huynh
Do they smell like how evolv's do?
Do they smell like how evolv's do?
Wayne Christoffersen
Hey Anna,
Treated properly leather shoes will have less of a funk than a synthetic shoe. Make sure you don't keep your shoes stuffed in your gym bag or baking in the back of your car and these wont smell like how Evolv's smell.
In fact this is probably good advise even for Evolvs too.
Brad Zwart
Great Day-to-Day Shoes
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: Runs large
These were my second pair of non-aggressive shoes. I recommend anyone to try them on at a store before buying. My street shoe size is 11, and I ended up getting a size 9 US (Down TWO sizes) of the Tarantulace to get the perfect tightness without it hurting too much. After months of gym use, they are still a great shoe and I can wear them for a few hours at a time. Great starter shoe, but make sure you are getting the right size.
Grant Burton
Comfortable, perfect shoes for beginners
- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
These were my first pair of climbing shoes, and I wore them until the toes blew out. Although I prefer a more aggressive climbing shoe now, I always recommend these shoes to beginners. These are primarily awesome for the comfort they provide without much compromise on their performance. These would also be a good choice for those looking for a shoe that they can wear most of the day without needing to take them off. For this reason, I used them on my first traditional climbing experiences.
If I wear a size 9 in most regular shoes,...
If I wear a size 9 in most regular shoes, what size do you suggest that I order. I heard because of the leather I should order a half size down with a 41? or a 40.5?
Cory D
Everyone has different feet and different levels of pain tolerance when it comes to climbing shoes. In regards to your sizing, I would personally go for the 40.5 over the 41 because they are primarily made of leather, but I would highly suggest trying on a pair somewhere else to see how they feel.
Matt Park
you can also order multiple pairs from us to try on and send back the ones that don't fit. A climbing shoe should fit like a sock, you want all parts of your foot touching the shoe with no gaps or loose areas. and around the toe of the shoe where the rubber meets the leather you will want to see all of your toe knuckles bumped up along that line. if this is your first pair of climbing shoes it will feel pretty painful, but as the shoe stretches and breaks in and you feet get used to being in that position it will hurt less.
If when trying the shoe on it is so painful that you can't even stand they are too tight and if you can put the shoe on fairly easily and it fells like a snug pair of sneakers, then you are too loose. You want to find that middle ground where your toes are knuckled and snug, but not horribly painful.
Ryan Oakey
Good Starter/Gym shoe
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: Runs large
Size: I wear a size 41 street shoe (size 8.5 US). I normally wear a 40.5 in climbing shoes (size 8 US). I bought a 40.5 and found that it was a perfect fit for now but this shoe is unlined leather. This means it will stretch as you sweat and climb in them. I may go for a full size down.
Performance: Before you become to critical of the shoe it is important to note its purpose. I normally climb in Scarpa Instincts a far more aggressive and expensive shoe. It would be ridiculous to expect an $80 shoe to perform like a $150. The rubber is not particularly sticky though it does the job. It edges well, and has no baggy heel (normally a problem in most shoes for me). I bought the shoe because I wanted something that wouldn't hurt my feet when training in the gym or doing lite climbing with friends. It has done everything I wanted it to.
Recommendation: I would recommend this shoe to people buying their first pair of shoes. It is not a high performance shoe but does the job and is super cheap. I personally believe that unlined leather lace-ups are usually the best climbing shoes for fit and comfort. I would also recommend this shoe for people who need a comfortable gym shoe. I would not recommend this shoe for bouldering. It just isn't aggressive enough for bouldering.
Jared Johnson
Pretty great starter shoe.
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
I have these and use them primarily at my gym. They are an all around solid shoe that i have found to be very durable. More comfortable than others pairs i have owned in the past. If you looking for a day to day gym shoe or a first time pair these are what you need.
Than Volk
Starter Shoes
The Tarantulaces have proved to be a great entry level shoe for me whiel climbing indoors. They're comfortable and are reasonably priced. Per the below comments, I went down half a size and am happy with having done so.
Bernardo Gomez
after a gym session
Bernardo Gomez
Excellent shoes.
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: Runs large
This is my second pair of climbing shoes. They are very comfortable to use all day long if you a buy a relaxed size. I use 10.5 normal shoes and got a 9 for this ones. I had the velcro version before and they stretch A LOT.
