Absolutely cracking!

Cons

Turn your feet blue!
Familiarity
I’ve used it a ton

My go-to multipitch shoe. Can wear easily all day! I have pretty narrow feet and these fit me nicely. For sizing I wear around an EU42 and these I have in a EU42, so same as my street shoes as I sized them for a crack/multi-pitch shoe. That being said, my toes are snug but not super crimped.

Sadly these arent made anymore, but you can still find them around the internet for some bargain prices. They feel super clunky when they are new, but after a few sessions/routes and the rubber get a bit scuffed up then they feel great and really insire confidence on small holds/edges.

Stevie Haston Gear Review no rating given just a review

In general this shoe is a good all day shoe that I will be using it on cracks, its comfy and well made, and as I say its not my normal choice shoe. You might consider it if you don't like turned down toes, or tight shoes. The Techno X is extremely comfy, the tongue is soft and padded, and as its better than a great number of boots I have done hard routes in the past it will defo do for most people up to hard bouldering grades, or climbing, good luck with it.

Climbing Zine Gear Review no rating given just a review

This is a well-constructed moderate crack climbing shoe which will take a lot of abuse. If sized right (more roomy than a sporty shoe) you can wear it all day with happy feet. I wouldn’t try routes with heel hooks, thin pockets, steep roofs, or dime-edges, but this isn’t a face climbing shoe. At $155 it’s on the high end for moderately priced, stiff laced shoes, which range from $140 to $160. Given the cost and its jamming and slab performance, it’s a good choice for climbers logging a lot of days on long moderate traditional climbs who want a shoe that will last several seasons. I’d take these up classic jam-fests like Serenity-Sons in Yosemite or The Cruise in the Black Canyon and have a good time, but try them on first… all-leather classics like the Mythos might be more comfortable for some feet.

Evening Sends Gear Review no rating given just a review

The Scarpa Techno X is a flat-lasted and comfortable edging shoe that packs in a lot of performance features for all-day high-end routes. Sporting a medium- if low-volume fit, this shoe will be a great option for 5.9 to 5.11 climbers looking for all-day comfort on tons of edging or crack climbing. However, it’s too stiff to really work well on smeary slabs. I’d recommend it for crack climbing in both the desert and Yosemite.

Climbing Gear Review no rating given just a review

This Italian shoe company proved that comfort doesn’t mean sacrificing performance and vice versa with the new flat-lasted Techno X. Testers loved the stiffness for standing on the patina flakes of Skyline (5.8) and the shoe’s versatility for simultaneous jamming and dime-edging on Wheat Thin (5.7), both in City of Rocks, Idaho. “I could climb easy five-pitch routes just as well as I could pull hard on vertical, techy 5.11,” one tester said. “They had a tight feeling, which inspired confidence on tiny footholds, but they weren’t so tight that I had to take them off at every belay.” This is thanks to a tension-randing system (the rubber is stretched out as it’s placed on the shoe) that places the power in your toe like a high-performance kick, but without a downturn, these shoes remain easy to wear. Vibram XS Edge rubber remains one of the stickiest on the market, and 4mm thickness is enough to protect your feet but not eliminate sensitivity. Whatever your objective, as long as it’s vertical or less, the Techno X will do you right.
