RE: Summits foot stirrups and fast back harness mini-review
Only time will tell as to how durable they will be. I am sure by the end of this season we will have a pretty good idea of how they hold up. I guess the bigger your foot the more "problems" you may have. I have a size 11 so it's not bad. Yes the fit is looser, but I still feel like I have complete control over the stand. Of course like Matt said, I have climb for a while with just my feet in the "V". As for kicking the stand back a bit, this has only happend on soft bark pines with me, I think a lot of it has to do with what type of tree you climb? They probably could be made stronger, but we may find there is no need, then again we may find there is. I really like them though, just so much easier to work with, especialy in the dark.
