What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I like the Helix V when I want a shoe that's easy to adjust but still feels secure on technical foot placements. The microfiber and suede upper breaks in smoothly without stretching too much, and the dual straps let me lock things down for harder pitches or loosen up between attempts. It's a comfortable, dependable option for long days indoors or outside."When we're stacking pitches or working through long training sessions, we want a shoe that stays comfortable without holding us back as movements get more precise.
