Montrail Magnet Rock Climbing Shoes (For Men)

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.

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

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

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.

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 bought these shoes because they were at a reasonable price, but the first size I ordered based off of converting the metric size to my U.S. size was way too small and then I got the biggest size available after that, but they were still about a half size too small, making long climbs nearly unbearable, especially if it's crack climbing. They're a great climbing shoe and I like them a lot, I just wish they fit better.

Not what I was looking for, but a fine shoe

I had to return them and get a half size bigger than I had originally thought. Don't down size much on these. After heating them up and wearing them for a few minutes they fit super snug and are pretty comfortable.

Had to return first pair but it was worth it!

I was so excited about these shoes, read the reviews that they ran a little small, so I ordered a 40.5 instead of my usual 40. But my toes were uncomfortably curled up in the shoes without even bearing weight. I know they'll stretch a little and climbing shoes are supposed to be tight (6 yrs climber), but not this tight! I say recommend overall just because these are really nice shoes, if you could only find your size!
