About Mad Rock
Mad Rock´s fifth year on the scene finds the company in full-tilt growth mode and flush with success from last year´s release of many new models. Never content to rest on its accolades and press clippings, Mad Rock´s designers have been logging overtime redesigning and updating the balance of core climbing shoes, adding an exciting line of mountain boots, and expanding its trail shoes and aprés-climb offerings.
At the end of the day, Mad Rock´s continued growth is attributable to an unswerving adherence to its core beliefs: Manufacturing innovative products with the best materials, price them fairly and address a need in the marketplace. The fact that Mad Rock's growing legion of customers seems to agree wholeheartedly with this philosophy has been beyond gratifying, and beats a closet full of awards any day.
Mad Rock currently produces the best and stickiest climbing rubber on the market, “Science Friction FX-5.” What climbing rubber is on your feet? This will be the single most important equipment decision you make as a new or experienced climber. Mad Rock's new FX-5 rubber is 18% stickier than what is being used by other companies in the market. Climb with the best FX-5, your life may depend on it.

Mad Rock Reviews
I went from wearing a 10.5 in Mad Rock Flashes to a 10 in these. They are starting to get a little bigger as they get worn in but with the aggressive downturn and the rubber over mold on the toe, I wish I had a 10.5. Either way the rubber on mad rock shoes is awesome and these are the shit for any kind of overhang climbing.
Overall, I like these shoes a lot. They provide good structure, good support, and good grip once they are broken in. My foot is skinny, so the straps do not offer enough tighten-down ability. Also, the straps kind of run long off the side and get in the way when using the outside of the foot.
Great edging! These are great shoes for vertical and overhung climbing. The toe really hooks onto to the rock relieving the core from a little bit of work. They feel amazing after they a broken in. A bit stiff when I wore it for the first two days.
For the intermediate and advanced climbers, this shoe will give you the edge you need. It has a very painful break in process because it is super stiff, but once it is broken in it is quite comfortable and it does damage to your climbing projects. The toe on the demon can pull on any type of foothold. Seriously, any type of foothold. The heel is specialized. It proves strongly on edges and spikes. The rough ridges provide great hooking and friction. I know Mad Rock isn't making these anymore, so pray they still have some in your size! I bought as many size 7's as I could!
Wears well in the plastic, but flakes off on granite. The science friction rubber is so soft, but it will stick to anything. Really comfy with the right fit and once they're broken in. Heel hooks really well and the hemp lining does keep the odor down compared to my friend's Evolvs.
