Is it "ok" to have a "foot fetish" for rock climbing holds? Seriously, footwork is critical for good climbing. Learning to get that toe in on a hold and then press down with confidence that it won't careen off is essential. Now, if you're Adam Ondra maybe it comes naturally, but for me not so much. These fold holds are big. They stick off the wall 1" to 1-1/2" which means when I put my toe on them and push, it's gunna stick. You could of course rotate them easily for a more slopey/edgy profile to add challenge if you want. I bought 2 sets of these and want more. I love the idea that they can be used as small hand holds too!!!
Bigger than expected, lots of variety, and pretty cheap for the size. Great for getting beginners used to realistic rock footholds where they have to think about foot placements. Also great for dialing in difficulty for crimps/pinches.
Great texture, one of the most realistic holds I’ve come across. Depending on orientation, you can stand for long periods of time on these feet pieces, or use them for fun holds-only routes.
These footholds range from slopey to in-cut, depending on the rotation. They stand about 3/4 to 1” off the wall. They work well on my 35-degree woody. I even use the one with the little positive knob as an undercling handhold. I ordered these in a matching color to whatever 5-pack of handholds I buy. 5 feet and 5 hands makes a boulder.
I have a vertical wall and when I got them I thought they were a little big to use as footholds. As a more advanced climber I like to use these a handholds.They are great for crimping and pinching.
Used this set on my 30 degree home wall all over the kickboard. There’s portions of the hold that are great for beginners and can get more technical if you flip the hold. Get creative with them and you’ll find some challenging feet to keep tension on (maybe even use them for hand holds).
