Scarpa Force Climbing Shoes (For Men)

I've been climbing with these shoes for the last two weeks and they have provided incredible grip, allowing me to make far more controlled moves than with what I had to do with my Evolve Royale. The shoes only took one or two climbs to break in and fit relatively comfortably, such that I only need to take them off after every 20 minutes or so. I've only tested these indoors, primarily on bouldering problems with a difficulty of V3-V5 and top roping problems with grade ratings of 5.10 and 5.11, but these shoes are semi-aggressive and allow for a solid footing against tiny jibs and holds that require slow-moving drop knees. For $50, you cannot go wrong with these shoes. I am incredibly happy with their performance so far.

My son uses them all the time in the gym and is very happy.

Great shoes! They are comfortable to wear and quickly mold to your feet. They are a great pair to have at the climbing wall because of their Velcro closure so they are easy to slip in and out of. They are more of a relaxed fit (not curved down toes) so you aren't hustling to take them off when you finish your climb and switch to belaying. I usually wear a size 9 shoe and got these in a 42.5.

Wonderfully comfy shoe! I can keep these on my feet for an entire day of climbing with no issues. Not overly agressive. Runs about a 1/2 size smaller than my streetshoe size. I wear a US 10, but both my Scarpa (Force and Techno) climbing shoes are 42.5, and fit like gloves. Very happy with my new kicks!

Have a longish, narrower foot but with a "square" front of my toes. These fit reasonably well once I got one size up from my street size but they still - after several days in the gym - uncomfortably squeeze the two outside toes to the point where I have to take the shoes off between climbs. I know they are supposed to be tight, but this is very different from my much older shoes used when I was more active 15 years ago. Overall happy with the purchase, STP's price on sale is very good.
