RENEGACI LOWA

Well, possibly this is a plbroem of most formulations of rigid rubbers.I'd add my sad experience with three different Vibram soles and one by Salomon (Contagrip):I've tried them all on my favorite test wet rock nearby, which is 30-40 degrees to vertical, and 80% of it's surface is polished by hundreds of soles.With Vibrams the rock is like a wall you need to change your way because it's completely impossible to climb on.Funny enough my good old pair of Adidas having wery simple (but rather SOFT) sole provide me the grip to climb on absolutely easy.I am now searching for some good boots, so here is my question:is it possible to find a sole made of RIGID rubber (like Vibrams) and get rid of skating on wet polished stones?OR something not very rigid, but with GOOD grip on subj?I need not boots for 30kg*200km backpacking just something

I bought a pair 10 years ago and wore them out of the box' to hike about 11 miles thuogrh Big Basin redwoods park. They were phenomenally comfortable. What am I saying ? They are phenomenally comfortable: I still have them and they get regular use. They're a little battered, but still completely intact. I've never had the wet rock grip issue described with these, but I have had with a pair of Brashers (also Vibram soled), so I know how unsettling it can be! Then again, FiveFingers have Vibram soles too, and I have had no problem with the grip on those. All I can imagine is that some batches or tread patterns of Vibram sole material are not good on wet rock.
