Talon Climbers

[DDM]

Anyone have any experience with these? Looks like for spar work they might be Comfy. My feet go to sleep when i stand on my kleins for long periods.
Foot plates wont fit kleins correctly.

One guy in our co. has a set. They were laying around the shop. He doesnt mind them. Said it takes some getting used to though walking on those soles.

They advertise them with a 2-1/2" gaff.Isn't that a pole length gaff? Anyone know what the mfg's website is?

I have a pair and I love them, it does take getting used to the different feel. I dont have the info you need .Sherrill used to carry them thats where I bought mine. Also I did away with the strap on the toes , was a pita.

I have a set of these also. I bought them years ago for a guy who was working for me who quit after a month. they sat around for a couple of years untill I got tendonitis in my foot of all places and made standing on my buckinghams very painfull. so I tried them out , didnt really like them at first as the 1 inch sole feels real clumsy but now that Im used to them I wouldnt go back. Another small advantage Ive found with them is they stay sharp forever as the gaffs are held off of the ground by the high sole..........

Thanks Guy's! I ordered a set this morning hopefully they will solve my issues!

Let us know what they're like.

I got Bashlin steels with foot plates, a little better on spars but they suck in trees, you got no feeling and sure footedness like normal boot bottoms.

They work very well!They are very comfortable.The only complaint I had was I had ordered a set of wraps for them and the were supposed to fit and came loose from the climbers when I was 60' in the air!But with the standard straps there great!
