Scarpa Marathon Climbing Shoes (For Men and Women)

Sizes run extremely small. They are not ladies sizes, more like toddlers. What was supposed to be a ladies size 5 turned out to be more like a childs size 12.

Excellent value, order at least 1/2 size up

Shoes are not as small as these people are saying. When you know about climbing, you know shoes should fit like a glove, and there should be no space between the tip of your toes and the shoe, in fact, it should fit snug to the extent of making it uncomfortable to painful to walk in them. On real rock, your life depends on it, and you should have no gap at all in the front and sides of your shoe. Your toes should feel cramped, but should be comfortable ON ROCK. Is obvious people are trygin comfort on floor like regular shoes, and that is an amazing mistake. Another thing to consider when buying shoes, is whether they are natural or synthetic. When they are natural, as these are, you should buy them even a half size smaller than synthetic, so the stretching won't create a comfortable on floor shoe. The right fit in these is maximum one size larger than your street size, an advanced climber would go up only half a size. If you can't handle it, rock climbing is not for you because you don't understand the basics.

First pair I have purchased and I absolutely love them. They're versatile- outdoor or indoor climbing- and I have used them a lot and they're holding up well. Great edges and nice "suction cup" things on the heel. Great value.

Ordered for my daughter so she could try climbing.Loved the returns policy for zeroing in on size.

This shoe really is great. I read the reviews before i bought it and decided to get a full size larger than i normally wear. I was hesitant to do this bc you are supposed to get them too small, but i am happy i did. They fit perfect for climbing shoes, snug in the toes and adjustable. I love love love Scarpa and for the price GO FOR IT! If you are searching for the perfect ones, DO BUY THESE!!

Bought these for my son. I settled with a pair that was 2 full sizes larger than he currently wears. Shoes are well made and he loves them.

I have only been climbing indoors for 3 months and using rental shoes. These shoes ae great. The really run about 1 1/2 - 2 sizes smaller.

These shoes run small like others have mentioned. I bought one and a half sizes larger and they fit. They are good quality though.

I've ordered tons from Sierra Trading Post and they are always helpful, even when I return something. But these shoes can't be helped. Literally a size and a half too small and I've ordered them twice. It has cost me nearly twelve dollars to return them and I still don't have any shoes that fit. I wish that I had read the reviews first.
