Reviewed by jeffrey from L.A. on Monday, April 22, 2013Most reviews here are so useless & lame. Used the product first before one spews out waste. I am a 8 street, I bought 9 1/2. I climbed these babies for 10 days. Awesome at edging on a dime. the rubber sticks and smears rad. Danced up some 5.10c in record time.

Reviewed by Karl Lamming from Texas on Wednesday, March 27, 2013I enjoy how easy it is to get these on with the straps. These don't have a lot of arch to them but just enough to make them great on the wall. Very comfortable If you have the right size.

Reviewed by RA from netown, PA on Wednesday, February 20, 2013purchased for my 13 y.o. daughter. she is happy - no complains. She wears kids size 4, adults size 5. Size 6.5 fits fine with a little space. Size 4.5 we got before according to measurements and recommendations - was extremely tight.

Reviewed by T from SF CA - Park City Utah on Friday, February 08, 2013Ordered 1/2 size over street shoe size and they were VERY tight and painfull at first. Could have gone up a 1/2 size but the ankle opening is too big on the ones I have so the heal would not be secure on a larger size. Streached a little with the help of a device I used but not a lot. Comfortable enough now for a few pitches.

Reviewed by kbauer from Austin, TX on Tuesday, February 05, 2013Feels like a great shoe. I ordered true to my street size and they fit great. A little tight, but not painful. The rail system doesn't seem to do any good, more of a gimmick, but at the same time it doesn;t take away from anything either. All in all, very happy with the shoe, and I'd recommend it as a first shoe or to someone looking for an all around shoe.

Reviewed by memphis from Knoxville, TN on Monday, January 21, 2013I over adjusted for how small they run, so they're just a little too big for me. (got screwed up in the conversion from us to uk and was off by half a size. Ended up at my street shoe size) That being said they are very stiff, so I didn't really even notice. They felt kinda strange putting them on, but once on the wall they felt great. It is a bit hard to feel edges in them though. Also, I got lots of "whoa, what are those" comments.

Reviewed by T from SF CA on Tuesday, December 25, 2012Maybe not the best pro's choice but a nice all around shoe. Narrow up front. Ordered these 1/2 size larger than my street shoe size and they were VERY tight at first. Took a month of climbing and wearing them around the house to make them fit ok. My toes are still a bit bent but if I went any bigger the ankle opening would not fit as they are pretty roomy in that area. My ankles are on the thinner side so it's pretty sloppy and not so good for heal hooks. They did not streatch out alot but are forming to my foot shape pretty nicely in the front. Edge well and smear good. Rubber feels pretty sticky. Like the fact that you can adjust the strap position with a slider. Seem like thy would be ok in cracks but I have not had the chance to check that out yet.

Reviewed by schelk33 from Wisconsin on Monday, November 26, 2012A great overall shoe and i would definitely order it again. They work extremely well for edging, even the smallest edge they can easily grab. I ordered a half size over my normal shoe size and they are still pretty tight so order them big.

Reviewed by Chuck from Boston, MA on Tuesday, November 06, 2012Sizing was off by 2 sizes. Climbing shoes are very difficult to size on-line
- Cons: Sizing was off
- Pros: Well constructed

Reviewed by JohnS from Madison, WI on Friday, October 26, 2012I sized up one full size from my street shoes, and the toes are tight while the heels border on baggy. I'll deal with it rather than spend the shipping to return another pair of shoes. That said, they have a good sole, they cinch easily with adjustable velcro straps, and the price was right.
- Best Uses: Gym climbing
- Cons: Too Tight Fit
- Pros: Adjustable Fasters
