Montrail Method Rock Climbing Shoes (For Men)

Have only used this sport climbing & top rope in the gym. Have been very pleased with this shoe, particularly edging. It does not run large, got my normal size shoe and it fits slightly tight but good for climbing. Excellent price!

I had to send these back since they did not appear true to size and I bought a size too big. They were teeny, tiny and I could barely get my foot in. Not the time for Cinderella. I really wanted them to fit but even the suggestion to size them wouldn't have worked. I am disappointed but will keep looking.

I use these shoes for all my climbing. When I first got them they were extremely tight, but broke in after awile to the point of being a little loose. You have to be sure to point your toe away when heel hooking, because your heel can pop out of the shoe. This is where a velcro strap would come in handy. I probably wouldn't recommend them for long climbs, because they do get uncomfortable after awhile. I normally just deal with it though. I've notice with my other Montrail shoes that the rubber seems to wear quickly. This may only be with the more aggressive shoes, but they stick very well on tiny holds, and fit into cracks nicely. I might go away from Montrail just to see what else is out there, but I've been happy with these shoes. They just started to wear through.

My very-picky son said they hurt too much over the instep, but my not-so-picky son said he loves them; can't wait to grow into them.

Good shoe when they are new for steep sport and bouldering. Rubber on these is very sticky. They Stretch. After they stretch alot and became super comfy, I found them to be excellent long route and crack shoes. At this price they are a steal.
