Mad Rock Maniac Climbing Shoes (For Men and Women)

Its a good fit, but be safe and buy one size large. the only problem i have with this is that strap runs under the arch. you hardly ever climb on that portion of your shoe, but when you do that can make it aggravating.That aside, killer shoes. for[$] bucks? lovely.

I love this shoes. If you are a new buyer to madrock, then know that you need to size up, some times as much a 2 sizes. I have used the shoe outside for face climbing and crack. I feel they are better for face climbing because of the strap. They smear and edge great.I will be buying another pair.

the shape is weird, super hard to get in. And it hurts......

had to exchange it for one size up

I know that climbing shoes should be ordered at the size or half size below your normal street shoe size to fit correctly, but the sizing on these shoes is completely wrong, even accounting for the fact that Mad Rock runs smaller than other brands. I wear a women's US size 5.5 (with no socks) in street shoes and this typically translates for my climbing shoes; I can even size down to women's US size 5 sometimes. Reading the previous reviews and having tried on other Mad Rock shoes in store (granted, not the Maniacs - but I figured the sizing would be similar across shoes), I ordered the women's US6 in the Maniacs. The heel cup is insanely deep and I can barely even get my foot into the shoe. Sending these back ASAP. I'd need at least a full size up to even have a snug fit in these shoes; when I put them on for the first time, my toes were bent backwards and underneath my foot.
