2.0 out of 5 stars. Ripped a hole after 1 climb at Yosemite.Reviewed by Kona girl from Morro Bay, CA on Monday, July 21, 2008The shoe was very comfortable, especially for long days of climbing or at a gym. However, after my first time climbing in the shoes outdoors, I wore a hole in the side right above the rubber. Simply put, a good climbing shoe should not wear through after one day. It needs thicker leather.

- Cons: Not durable
- Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational
- Pros: Lightweight
- Sizing: Feels true to size

3.0 out of 5 stars. sizing is smallVerified Buyer Reviewed by Climbing novice from NC on Thursday, May 15, 2008Shoes are fine, but the fit is too small. Even going a half-size larger than normal was too small. I usually wear an European 38 and could barely get it on.

4.0 out of 5 stars. Well made but Sized Too SmallReviewed by Americanpie from Massachusetts on Monday, January 28, 2008These seem like well made shoes but feel like they are a full size too small -I ordered 41.5 and my women's shoe size is 9 1/2. Depending on preference the wearer also may or may not like the side heel/heel cup area, which is nearly entirely rubber as opposed to having some suede there.
- Best Uses: Bouldering, Indoor
- Describe Yourself: Getting Started
- Pros: Rugged
- Sizing: Feels full size too small
