Nice shoes, sizing way off. By aspiring climber from Denver, CO on 04/26/2008 Cons: Sizing is terribly off Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational Sizing: Feels full size too small Width: Feels true to width Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Knowing that climbing shoes are supposed to be a bit tight, smaller than usual size, I expected that, however I ordered my regular shoe size and it is actually 2 sizes too small.
Love 'em: I'll be ordering a second pair By Sporty from Maine on 04/21/2008 Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational Sizing: Feels full size too small Width: Feels true to width Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Just purchased these, so I thought I would break them in during a week-long trip to JTree. I brought two other models of shoes with me and never took those out of my bag - used the TRocks the whole time. The heel cup is a bit deep for my (female) foot, so I taped my achilles for a couple days to ease the pressure until they were broken in. I ended up ordering a size up from my street shoe size for a (still very) snug fit, but I have found five-tens tend to run small anyway. The full lacing allowed me to get them snug enough for my fairly narrow foot. The shoes were comfortable enough to wear on longer trad routes, and great for the often technical boulder-scrambling descents. Very sticky rubber. These shoes edged, jammed, and smeared their way up many routes just beautifully.
My Old Ones Were Worn Out By Sherry K from Burlington, CANADA on 04/19/2008 Pros: Only Shoe that fits me, Stiff sole Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational Sizing: Feels true to size Width: Feels true to width Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I bought 2 more pairs. Shoes laces to the toes so I can get a snug fit from toe to heel - a low volume toe box has been difficult to fit for me. Comfy synthetic materials, so no animals were sacrificed.
By JG Mountain Girl from Hot Sulphur Springs, CO on 04/18/2008 Width: Feels true to width Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: I climb moderate pitches regularly. I was initially impressed with the make of the shoe ... until I tried to put them on my feet. I followed other reviews that they are a full size too small, so I ordered one size too big. They still didn't fit. I reordered another size too big, and still they were way too small. Very agressive make as well. Not impressed.
Labeled sizes are too small By J from Boulder on 04/07/2008 Sizing: Feels full size too small Width: Feels true to width Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: Beware, you will probably need to order this shoe in a full size or 1-1/2 size larger to even get it to fit.
shoe fits my wide morton foot fairly wel By Geoff from Indiana on 04/03/2008 Pros: closures comfortable, Durable Sole Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational Sizing: Feels full size too small Width: Feels true to width Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: great price for a good product
By skiflake from ft collins, CO on 03/14/2008 Sizing: Feels full size too small Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: just ordered these in the same size i normally wear, and these are at least a full size too small for me. so order a size up, for real!!!
Great edging shoe, size opinion here By Adam the Greeley Climber from Greeley, CO on 03/13/2008 Pros: Good Traction, Stiff midsole Cons: stiff mid = poor smearing Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational Sizing: Feels half size too big Width: Feels true to width Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: These shoes were great right out of the box. I've been climbing at a high level for 4 years now, and have used a LOT of shoes. I currently also have a pair of Five Ten Dragons, which I fit at my street size (which is snug). The T Rocks need to be fit a half (slightly snug, likely to stretch to being comfy enough for cracks) to a full size down (for a more aggressive fit). If one goes down more than a full size I'll bet anything that the width would become an issue. I REALLY enjoy these shoes, and I have owned high performance models from sportiva, five ten and evolv (dragon, venom, katana, predator, talon) Check out the T rocks if you want something a bit stiffer than the average shoe. Also: these really do edge amazingly well.
Nice Shoes, Watch the sizing though! By Renegade Rob from Northfield, MN on 02/28/2008 Pros: Durable Sole, Good Traction Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational Sizing: Feels full size too small Width: Feels true to width Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I've been climbing for about 3 years, but this is my first pair of non-rentals, so keep in mind that that's what I'm comparing these to ;)
I love the synthetic slipper-style upper combined with relatively stiff sole and full laces for a super-secure wrap-around fit. As they claim, it is a hybrid best-of-a-couple-worlds shoe. Putting them on takes a couple minutes to get them adjusted and tightened properly, but once they are on, you're good.
Watch your size! I wear an 11 in (most)street shoes and ended up having to exchange my original purchase for a 12 just to get my feet in them (and yes, I am aware that climbers are supposed to be snug). Keep in mind, synthetic climbers don't stretch with time, the first time you try them on is how they'll always fit.
Overall, I really like 'em!
By Walt from NY on 02/27/2008 Pros: Durable Sole, Good Traction Cons: Flimsy insert, Hard to Walk In Describe Yourself: Avid Cyclist Sizing: Feels half size too small Width: Feels true to width Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Great firm rubber. Sticky as anything out there. Feels a little narrow, but i have wide feet. A little clumsy and flimsy to put on, but comfortable once in them. Good edges, not for crack climbs, but decent for small toe holds. Heel end is kinda stiff which may cause some blisters. But i think once i break them in i'll be happy with them.
