If you're looking for your first pair and want a performance shoe, then this is for you! It's got you covered right until you take your climbing to the next level... that's of course the if it lasts that long. As for sizing, I think Mad Rock anticipated people would size down so it might feel 0.5 to 1 size smaller even if you buy it in your street shoe size.

love the shoe!! but don't size down that much, like I did after reading those reviews. I did go two sizes down, but with a big regret. It could be because of my a little wide foot I couldn't get my foot in.
So if you will size down, size half or one down only

Very nice shoe. Good toe, great heel. I would recommend ordering a size or two low... though I treat my shoes very badly, the only thing I don't like is that heel has seemed to miss-shape since I first bought them. Very sticky rubber.

Performance and comfort the super loco performs fantastically. The styling with the excessive flames on both sides is a little ridiculous. But if you can get past the styling flaws then you have an amazing shoe that can heel hook as well toe hook. Break in period was a few climbs, definitely stiff at first. Overall a great shoe and if you can score one on sale you wont be dissapointed.

I love this shoe. Very sticky rubber. Excellent edges. Turned down pointy toe is great at locking on the small stuff. I'm confident when toe and heel hooking alike. Got a tough comp? This is a great shoe!

The shoe is great, it just didn't fit right and they were out of a larger size.

Both shoes are really high end products and perfect for steep walls!!! When you order the "super loco" take it 1.5 size low!!!

Great fit (I ordered 0.5 size smaller then my normal size), Took me about a week before I could really wear them without them being kind of uncomfortable. Only request for next time would be to get rid of the lame fire all over the shoe.

This is one of my favorite mad rock shoes, mostly because of the excellant heel and toe hook capability. The rubber is also exceptionally sticky, and the downturned toe has some advantages. The only thing that really bugs me about these shoes (and the Mugens, for that matter) is the idiotic red fire on the sides of the shoes. without it, the shoe would look pretty cool, but to me, the fire makes them look REALLY UGLY. One time I tried to peel the rubber off, but there's red paint underneath!! Anyways, aside from that, its a really great shoe.

Great shoes! Really good toe hoking, very confortable, perfect for boulder and sport climbing...

this is really the best shoe that ever fitted my feet...the toe and heel hook are awesome and the rubber allows to step on very small edges or pure friction. i am very satisfied with this shoe which i ordered for the third time by now.
referring to the size of the shoe i got to say that i wear it 1.5 sizes smaller than normal outdoor shoes.
p.s.: the first times you wear them it may hurt a bit but it expands very fast.
