Flat ballerina shaped shoes for slab wide micro edges

Climbing shoes follow the toes making the front end rounded. If instead the shape of the shoe would be flat, like in the ballerina shoes, it would probably be easier to stand on sharp wide micro edges. In normal shoes, less rubber gets in contact with such specific footholds. The problem is that this square shape makes the shoes perform worse in all other conditions and once rubber is rounded off, the benefit is reduced. In fact, one shoe company has checked this possibility but it did not work out also based on the estimated price. However, as the sport is growing in popularity, the shoe companies and the sponsors will be willing to invest more money and the top athletes might have as many shoes in the bag as the golfers. Remember that some weeks ago, we discussed the opposite. The shoes could have a super rounded specific big toe compartment in order to squeeze in only the big toe in two finger pocket. Two weeks later, Charles Albert squeezed his big toe in a small pocket, creating a FA in Font that is said to be impossible with normal climbing shoes.
