The gyms all tell you don't walk underneath people on the wall and don't climb too close to them, because there's a good chance they're gonna fall even wearing unmodified shoes.If you slipped and hurt someone etc could any claim be made null and void as you were wearing "DIY" shoes?
Hot recommend 2K rubber adhesive from Rema Tip-Top, with blue pigment. They stick together conveyor belts. Best cold vulcanization I know. Not budget friendly but... In shoes, you can pour wet sand in a bag or kinetic clay, for better pressure from the outside.View attachment 356333
Used the contact cement
Insurance, I assume is covered by the climbing gym for inside. Falling is expected and generally safe.Serious question now, when you climb do you have to have insurance? If you slipped and hurt someone etc could any claim be made null and void as you were wearing "DIY" shoes? Just thinking of our blame culture.
Throw away at £50-150 every few months, with new Scarpa ones being excessively ground down at factory.. half used from new.Would these shoes have otherwise been a throwaway item then?
Thanks I didnt know a 2k version existed. I use their 1 part tyre cement for puncture repairs. Do you know the cure time for that?Hot recommend 2K rubber adhesive from Rema Tip-Top, with blue pigment. They stick together conveyor belts. Best cold vulcanization I know.
