Best (non protective) climbing boots?

[jarnii]

i have had two pairs of akus and love them, really good solid boot there are others like evolv and some gronell boot but the akus tick all the boxes.

Almost any decent fabric ankle walking boot will be good for climbing. Solomon for example do a few models around 90 quid that will be way better than any chainsaw boot. IMO scarpas are worth the extra though.

i have a pair of these that i used to climb in, though i did find that because they lack a more solid sole and rubber rand my feet were sqaushed a little in tight crotches

I do like the look of those aku's and loads of people say about scarpers being good.... My boss is gonna lend me his aku's in the am, so i can give em a go, see if i like them or not! I did see these as well, there selling for 50 quid so pretty good price. Do you reckon there any good?
