There are no perfect rock shoes out there, but there are the right ones for you. They fit well, have the features and the soles you need, and specifically they suit your favorite rock type and climbing style. There is a problem though. With so many makes and models, how can you possibly find the right one to make the most of your climbing?

You might be one of the lucky ones and have already found them, but if you're still not sure Rockbusters are here to help. We have teamed up with Evolv to provide a range of their shoes for you to try and there is no better way than to actually go out there and use them for a couple of days and see how they fit.

But that’s not all…. 

Have you ever thought about how light, more comfortable, and more adjustable harnesses might feel? Or an ultralight helmet? What about using a different belay device? We have a great range of Singing Rock demonstration gear for you to try. 

Did you know that most climbers have never used a kneepad? This can be your chance to find out how it feels to wear one. We have the Send kneepads, the most popular brand out there. See how much more rest you can get out of a kneebar, and the difference it can make for a crucial move. 

We want you to explore and push your climbing as far as you can, use our demonstration gear, and, most importantly, have a great time. Use of gear from our Test & Demo Centre is already included in the course, so you can feel free on trying as much as you can. How cool is that?

It’s all part of being a member of the Rockbusters community.
