Talon vs Optimus Prime

Talons and Optimus Primes are agressive climbing shoes. Optimus Primes is colored yellow and Talons is colored green. Talons are laced up shoes and Optimus Primes are velcro. Talons have a soft middle for the bottom for more flexibility and Optimus Primes has a stiff bottom for more stability.

Both shoes are really good but it depends on what you use it for. For really steep climbs, overhangs, and small footholds I prefer the Talons. For climbs where you have to go sideways or for heel hooking it is better to use the Optimus Primes. But Optimus Primes are good for overhangs but talons are a little bit better. The laces for the Talons might get annoying. So I like the Optimus Prime better because it's Velcro and it has better features.
