Montrail Magnet Rock Climbing Shoes (For Men)

I ordered a half size larger than I thought I needed but my toes were still curled inside. I returned them and re-ordered the half size larger. Theya re great...they really suction nicely to your feet. They almost feel like they are part of your body!

I was warned that they ran small. I wear a 7.5-8 womens (6 mens), ordered a 6.5 mens and though I kept them, they are still at least another half size too small.

Best part: you can form them to your feet by heating them in the oven. I've never used them for outdoor climing.

Size prior to molding was good, but not perfect. But once I put it in the oven to do its "Parfam" heat moldable foam, it fit PERFECTLY

I ordered these in the same size as my running shoes (size 43). They fit well on my slightly narrow foot. They are vey light, so I can throw them in a pack wherever I go. I find that the Gryptonite HT rubber is terrible stuff. I have the worst time smearing and heal hooking with these shoes. I have tried a side by side test and I find I climb at least one grade lower in my Montrails vs my La Sportiva Katana's or Evolv Pontas. These may be comfortable and cheap, but I can't help but think someone really wanting to learn how to climb would do better with a higher friction shoe.
