i just got a pair of these, and i am way too excited about them!
i'm used to a more traditional foot technique, been wearing anasazis for years, and have never had any luck with the severely downturned shape of the new-style sport climbing shoes. they always seem to hurt my feet, and i just find myself unable to use my feet on normal-type smear holds and edges, which is usually a lot of the time even on steep stuff, for me.
these projects seem like the perfect combination of that sort of downturned shoe, and a more "normal" flatter sole. they are also comfortable immediately, and are allowing me to climb with footwork of both styles. i'm pretty psyched on these....!!

These shoes definitely live up to their reputation, they grip like crazy and are the most sensitive shoe possible. However, the rubber on most shoes is twice as thick, so that although they are twice as sensitive, they also wear out twice as fast. So, in terms of performance they are great, if you have the money to replace them often.

I usually wear La Sportiva and thought I'd give these a try. My street size shoe is a 12, and my climbing shoes are a 9 or 9.5 (42, 42.5) so I got these in a 9.5 and I could not even think to squeeze my foot into the shoe. I would need to get at least a full size bigger

Typically in Sportivas, I have a slightly narrow foot and have not had much luck fitting Five-tens, but am loving my new Projects. Not only do I have a snug fit throughout the shoe (street shoe 9 = project 9), its super sensitive sole is IT for thin problems. Quickly became my go-to for Bouldering and steep Sport routes.

I love these shoes! They are my favorite to climb in for hard bouldering routes and work best for overhanging toughies. I mostly climb in the gym, but have climbed with them outdoors as well. They are equally effective in either arena. They are super sensetive, so I always trust my feet because I can feel holds so well. After a while, they fit like a glove and wrap around your feet. The downturned last also provide lots of power as long as the shoe is sized properly. That being said, there are some specifics that need to be noted. These shoes stretch more than any shoe I've ever used. I wear a 10 in street shoe, 9 in most climbing (anasazi, mocassym) and bought these in an 8. They have stretched one size so far and I think they will stretch a bit more. I could have gone down to a 7.5 with the amount of stretch in these shoes. Keep that in mind when sizing. There will be pain at first, but it's well worth it. The shoes are so soft that it goes away quickly. This also means that relatively strong feet are required. Their softness means less support and more strength required from your feet. All in all, with the proper sizing and use, these shoes are like climbing barefoot if your feet were hands! Highly recommended!
