Hi there..been researching climbing methods..has anyone ever use sport climbers? I forgot that i had a set so i dug it out and tried it out and apparently im doing something wrong..dont care for the way it attatches to the leg and foot..sure i can modify it with buckles..but how stable are they? I have a fused ankle and had my knee replaced so maybe thats a issue as i cant seem to climb in them..anyone else has any issues or perfer climbing spurs to it?

I don't know anything about them, but they seem cool. Wanna sell or trade em?
 
I have never used them personally but, of the people that I know that tried them I don't know anyone that has liked them. Most seem to have similar experiences to yours.

If you have bad knees and ankles you probably won't have any luck because there isn't any tall support on them like regular Spurs.

I bought a pair years ago, tried them once and sold on craigslist next day. They support in the ankle only and that wasn't enough for me to feel safe. They definitely need more support up the calf to be safe for climbing IMO.
