Did you explain what you mean when you say "more aggressive"?

Rock Climb Tips
Thanks for the question. "Aggressive" shoes are ones that are more curved. The curve is what helps you stick to overhangs easier as it lets you hook into the holds while on the overhang. They are more for medium to advanced climbers that do a lot of overhangs climbing. Their disadvantages is that they make some of the more common techniques more difficult so unless you are doing a lot of overhangs, I suggest you choose a less aggressive (i.e. less curved shoe).
