I have arbpro red ones. They don't work with my spikes as there's not a definite heel.

I'd be interested to know if anyone has tried climbing in Vibram 5-Fingers.

ArbPro evo 2 still going strong here. But all ArbPro boots have very soft sticky soles for climbing, so don't last that long if you want to drag brash with them

Anyone with experience of the Stein Werewolf boots or Scarpa Pro Ascent?

I have a pair of Altberg boots with vibram soles most comfortable boot I have ever worn they have no steel toecap or steel sole plate.

I've got Arbpro Clip n Step. Excellent climbing boot.

Can't comment on durability as I don't care. I got them because they're comfy and cooler in hot weather.

werewolfs are brilliant, in fact i'm about to order a new pair. I got loads of life out of my first pair, over 2 years and they were comfy the whole time. Comfortable on spikes also. I don't see the point of getting a pair of boots with no chainsaw protection in them when these are available with.

scarpa pro ascents are the best boot hands down for grip, pruning and comp climbing,. I've tired a lot and they just seem to grip better than any others.

the down side is that they are super tight and narrow. I averaged two years out my scarps before the soles wear through and thats with wearing them everyday from march to november (apart from the odd hazard removal thrown in) unfortunately found they were too tight on my feet though and have now switched em out for the salewas which are going on 18 months so far, the hooks are pretty hit and miss though......super easy to snap off.
