Why We Like The Bullit Climbing Shoe
We reach for the Bullit Climbing Shoe when we're heading to the cave to work on our overhang technique. The rubber toe patch and soft midsole make our toe-hooks bulletproof, while the slipper design lets us easily pull these senders off between problems.

Runs small
- Familiarity:
- I returned this product before using it
I wear a 9-9.5 shoe and I ordered a 9.5 since the reviews say they run a bit larger. To me they run small. I will be buying the next size up because they were super comfortable in every other aspect.

Almost perfect indoor shoe
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times

- 9.5

I have "E" width greek feet and narrow heels. The fit of this shoe definitely is very close to the instinct vs/vsr line. I would say the toebox width is slightly more narrow and softer than the instincts; softness mainly due to the softer toe patch rubber and shorter midsole in the shoe vs the instincts. Only weakness for me is the heel hooking most likely due to my narrow heels. Heel fits nicely along the bottom to back of my heel and stays locked in when pulling, however the (L/R) sides bag out a little making the heel slide left and right easily when doing some hard heel hooks. Street shoe US 10/10.5 depending on brand, swaying more 10 if anything. For reference these shoes fits me the best which includes my narrow heel: Up Moccs 8.5 and 9 Evolv Shamans 10.5

built like a bullit

I've had these shoes for about three weeks and have taken them on several adventures. They perform indoor bouldering very well, sticking to disgusting slab footholds and clinging to overhangs like a bat. they do great in the outdoors as well. Recently climbed some basalt and they do great on the sharp rock, as well as sandstone the rubber grabs and clings. I have a 10.5 street shoe and sized these down for performance to a 10. I would recommend just getting your street shoe size because they are a little to tight for my liking but super comfortable and soft.

Best Bouldering Shoe

I have wide feet. Like, maybe even abnormally wide feet. These are my cinderella shoe. They hug my foot without crushing it, they secure my heel, and I can actually feel where I'm applying pressure in my big toe. I prefer them over any other shoe I've tried.

I was impressed by how comfy these shoes are are right out of the box. I wore these when they were brand new for an entire gym session and they did not destroy my feet. I am sucker for comfy, but not at the expense of performance. Fortunately, these shoes do not make sacrifices. In the gym, they are good for just about everything. You can get a lot of rubber on the large format holds gyms mostly use, they work especially well on volumes, and they toe hook very well. I have also worn them outside to boulder on granite, sandstone, and sport climb on limestone and they performed well across the board. If you need to put a lot of weight on little edges I would not recommend these shoes, but if you want a good general purpose shoe, I would recommend these.

Great for Small Footholds

This things have been so great for small footholds. Still enough to be technical but still have enough softness to move with your feet. Also really great for technical heel hooks!

Softer alternative to Instinct VS

I really enjoy this shoe! It fits similar to the Scarpa Instinct VS but the toe rubber is softer. I wear a street size US mens 10 and I got these in 10.5 for comfort fit. I'd get a 10, or MAYBE 9.5 for a performance fit.

Great Alternative To Scarpa Instinct
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
- Size Bought:
- US9/EU42
- Weight:
- 170
This shoe fits very similar to a Scarpa Instinct, thus It's a great shoe for a wider forefoot. I ordered the same size, and its a bit tighter, but perhaps not a full 1/2 size difference. It is marketed as a super soft bouldering shoe but It feels more powerful than a VSR, more like the VS with its XS-Edge rubber. I went 1 US size down from street shoe for a very tight performance fit, but due to it fitting my foot type well there is no pain. The shoe does break in a bit, but I wouldent say it stretches a 1/2 size like the literature. It has a moderate downturn, again very similar to an Instinct.
