Reviewed by JW from Wisconsin on Thursday, May 09, 2013Great 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.

Reviewed by Mike Bud from Western MA on Monday, April 01, 2013Wonderfully 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!

Reviewed by Climbing again from Morristown from NJ on Saturday, February 23, 2013Have 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.

Reviewed by Casual Climber from Portland, OR on Sunday, February 17, 2013I have mortons's toe and these shoes fit wonderfully tight in my street size. I agree with another reviewer that they DO NOT run small. I have another pair of shoes with the XS edge sole and for indoor top rope work I think its a better choice than the XS grip. But for an ALL DAY shoe these are great.

Reviewed by Twistlock from Buffalo, NY on Thursday, February 14, 2013Good shoe overall. Wore them at the local gym and they performed well. Nice fit but the ad said " runs small"... this is untrue, get your normal size. Also, the heel cup is not as snug as the rest of the shoe making heel hooks greasy. Nice back up shoe on the crag.

Reviewed by Harold from Fairfax, VT on Sunday, February 10, 2013I bought these because my previous pair of climbing shoes was beginning to show some serious wear and tear, and these looked of a similar style, and cheap enough to fit into my post-college ("read actually having to pay my student loans now") budget. I was skeptical placing the order. I found myself wondering how many times I would have to send them back and forth before I actually got the best fitting size, or if they would even fit the shape of my feet at all (I have long and wide feet, so I've had this problem purchasing climbing shoes before). So I went out on a limb and just ordered my base street size, and they fit wonderfully. The double, opposing strap structure really sinches them right on. The only draw back so far has been that the rubber is a bit harder than that on my previous pair, making it more difficult to do some of those much-needed smears. Though that may also mean I won't wear through them as quickly.

Reviewed by rhyang from San Jose, CA on Sunday, February 10, 2013Nice comfortable shoe. I typically wear 42 EU in scarpa vapor and techno, went to 41.5 in these, which was tight at first but after some gym time broke in very nicely. My feet measure 9.5 US / 42.5 EU.

Reviewed by T from SF CA - Park City UT on Friday, February 08, 2013Great fit right out of the box. More comfy in the toe box than all similar shoes I have tried. Only logged a few days of use but they have been great so far. My feet are narrow enough that i will have to cut off a bit of each strap but they cinch down snug and snd still will if they strech a little. I climb up to about 5.11 and they should be perfect for my needs. I have some 5.10 grandstones for wider cracks and a shoe that will edge a bit better but these will be my go to shoe for most everything including longer trad routes due to there versitity and comfort.
