This ascent shoe is perfect! By Monday climber from Olympia, WA on 04/03/2009 Pros: Rugged, Weather Resistant Best Uses: Bouldering, Long Climbs Describe Yourself: Avid Climber Sizing: Feels half size too big Width: Feels true to width Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I normally wear a men's 11 and these were a 10 1/2 and fit perfectly. They are very similar to the Scarpa lite ascent, except wider in width. I love low top climbing shoes over bulky mountaineering boots, which I only take if crampons are necessary. My ankles are strong and I hike in summer and winter in these kind of shoes with ankle gaiters. The stiff soles allow my feet to be comfortable for 16 miles or longer day hikes and weekend overnighters. The stiff soles give good stability on steep scree and climber's trails, much preferred by me over traditional trail runners and lighter hiking boots. These shoes are Italian, very well made, a good price, and very comfortable. It's too bad they are discontinued. This is the first pair of ascent shoes that I have found comparable to the Scarpa lite ascents which also were discontinued. If available, I would buy another pair.
