Reviewed by Peter from Maine on Friday, May 17, 2013I just bought a second pair of these shoes to keep in storage. I have tried many steep terrain shoes and these are among the best. The sizing is odd ( I went a half size over my street size and I wear my shoes tight) but once I got the correct shoe, they fit very well. There is a snug toe box that is not as wide as the Jet 7 but still ample. The heel is snug with barely any dead space anywhere. The shoe has a pretty aggressive downturn and grabs nicely on the steeps. The rubber is sticky and places the edge in perfect alignment with my inside and outside edges of my foot. they are a bit stiff initially..not clunky like the Edelrid Raven..but certainly not super soft sensitive like the 5.10 project. All in all, I would put this shoe high on my list of steep terrain shoes. I loved the Jet 7 (no longer made) and I really like the fit of the Evolv Predator G2 (a a bit deeper heel and a bit more aggressive) but the blackwing seems to have stickier rubber and a bit more sensitivity. Nice easy entry with secure velcro in well positioned spots to lock you in nicely.

Reviewed by dunk711 from PA on Wednesday, May 08, 2013Aggressive, but I am forced to wear my normal shoe size. No downsizing on this one.

Reviewed by Artem from Texas on Wednesday, May 01, 2013Have worn these shoes for 2 weeks now, and while initially they were ridiculously tight, they broke in nicely and I can wear them up to 20 minutes without taking them off. Quick note: these shoes are sized ridiculously small, I ordered them a half size above my shoe size and 1.5 sizes above what I had in the 5.10 spires. This was too small, so I was forced to exchange for a whole size above my street shoe size and it was still a pretty tight fit but feel great now. An absolute steal for the price!

Reviewed by alwaystimetoclimb from Oregon on Sunday, April 21, 2013Great edging and hooking shoe. Unlike most aggressively downturned shoes, it is comfortable enough to wear on reasonably long sport routes. Definitely size up at least a full size above your street shoe. For reference, I wear a size 9.5 steet shoe, 9 in anasazis, and a tight 10.5 in the Blackwings.

Reviewed by Walshie from Flagstaff on Wednesday, April 10, 2013The description does not lie, aggressive down turned they are (not quite as vicious as the Dragon). Sized same as street shoe and plenty snug. Great value for an advanced climber or someone looking to feel the difference an aggressive shoe can make on steep overhanging routes.

Question “I wear 9 1/2 street shoes, but size ten in hiking boots. What would be the recommended size for these?”
-
Answer Climbing shoes should fit very snugly to tight. A 9.5 should be your choice.
-
Answer I would order at least a 10. I wear 11.5 in running shoes and ordered a 12 here and will be returning them because they are FAR too small.
