Why We Like The Red Chili Sausalito Climbing Shoe
When the anchor is a long way off, we outfit our feet with the Red Chili Sausalito Climbing Shoe. The newly padded heel and odor-fighting insole keep our feet feeling fresh on long multi-pitch routes, while the broader last lets our toes lay flat for increased jamming comfort. Wrapped with RX-1 Allround rubber, including a full forefoot rand, this shoe gives us bite that lasts.

Super comfortable, terrible durability
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
The Red Chili Sausalito may be the most comfortable climbing shoe I've ever owned. But they aren't durable. I've only had them for 2 months and the rand is completely worn through. I maybe only got 30 total pitches out of them (I didn't wear them in the gym).

Pros: Ideal for wide feet Extremely comfortable True to street shoe size Attractive design Cons: Very poor performance Almost no friction Lacks power Never filled me with confidence While the Red Chili Sausalito shoes are comfortable and fit well, they fall short in performance. They might be suitable for traditional climbers, but I would not recommend them for beginner sport climbers, which was my intended use. These shoes never filled me with confidence. If you decide to try them, make sure to size them according to your street shoe size. I upgraded to the Red Chili Fusions, and I highly recommend those instead for sport climbing.

Very comfortable

Great shoes for beginners. Good grip on a boulder and very comfortable from first day. The only issue is that after wearing them a few times they stretch a size. The company advises to buy true to size but I would still go a half size or a full size down.

Sneaker-like comfort

Got these while my Anasazi pinks were being resoled to be my backup pair. I wanted my backup shoes to be something extra comfortable, as I was also not long after healing from a broken foot. These live up to the comfy reputation of Red Chilis, especially if normally you find a lot of climbing shoes to be particularly tight and uncomfortable. Even with my Mortons toe, I feel zero discomfort. Seriously, they feel like just putting on a pair of Adidas sneakers. That said, comparing to the pinks in performance -- which is a high standard to compare to -- they obviously fall a little short, even ignoring the less-aggressive fit. Oddly both the "feel" is a bit damped and yet the sole could be a little stiffer IMO, which makes it not as precise on delicate edges. The general comfort works in its favor for jamming in cracks, especially in a long crack route, but the lack of stiffness works against it. Smears feel good though. Overall though, I probably end up wearing these more than my pinks. I'll put on the pinks when I'm projecting or whatnot, but these are so comfy for casual climbing. Especially for longer sessions.

"The Budget TC Pros" My Red Ferrari Shoe

I love these guys! I got them on sale and have been using them for the past year. I got a more relaxed fit, still snug, but not curly those toes. They work beautifully! I typically use them up to the 5.10+ range and they perform solidly even on tiny edges. I thought the rubber was a little too hard at first, but after a decent amount of use, it softens up and gets really grippy. Great for slab due to the flexible sole, and relatively good in cracks. Lacks the ankle protection of the tc's, but still doesn't hurt your feet while doing foot jams. My only regret is not resoling them sooner :/ I just had 2 holes start through the right toebox and ended any shot I had at getting more mileage out of them.
