Mad Rock Flash Climbing Shoe - Men's

I've been using these shoes for some time now and I'm very happy with their performance. They work great on sport routes, I've been using them mostly on higher end trad climbs. They are comfortable enough to wear for a multiple pitches and offer the performance I need for harder cracks. This is an awesome shoe and an incredible value. They stretch a little so size accordingly.

got a size too small and had too return. got the new size and found out that my left foot is slightly bigger then my right. wore it around to stretch it out with no luck and didn't want to go a size up cause then my right wouldn't fit. asked around and was told to wet the shoe with hot water for a few and then wear it. worked like a charm.

Sexy time. I like FRICTION

I love my Flashes and wouldn't grab another shoe out there... For my first pair... They are great for wearing all day but if you are looking for a great pair of bouldering shoes I would suggest something more aggressive... Fit is amazing and comfort is for the record books. Only complaint I have is I feel my climbing now has surpassed their aggressiveness and thats after spending 6 months of climbing at least 5 times a week in a gym not including outdoor climbing trips

I've been climbing for a couple of years now and these are great shoes for gym climbing.

I decided a long time ago that there were more factors than the tightness of my shoes keeping me from performing on rock. The most glaring example is between my ears. So rather than experience numbness in my toes as I did with my first pair, I have tried to size my shoes so that there is not a noticeable performance deficit while maintaining relative comfort. That said, it wouldn't make since for me to buy highly cambered, toe crunching, expensive shoes (designed for a style and grade of climbing I find as foreign as falafel). So if I can get a smokin' price on some sticky rubber that does what I need on sport and plastic (saving my Mythos for hopefully one more weekend of trad), I've got to be happy.

I loved this shoe. I have climbed really well in this shoe but they died on me after only a few times in the gym and three times outdoors.

If you go through as many shoes as I do price is an issue and these are the best bang for the buck. I'm on my fifth pair now and the only complaint I have is I think they changed the sizing. In my previous pairs I took a 10.5 but on the more recent pair the 10.5 are a little big.

Sticky sole, very good for limestone, good fit on foot too

These shoes Rip. They are some of the best all around shoes i have used. This proves to me that Mad Rock can hang with 5/10 and Sportiva. I am really happy with them and own two pair.

These shoes work well for a first set of shoes. I would get them a full size down if I could have a "do over" but the 1/2 size down is okay, they are just getting a bit lose. These feel similar to 5-10 ascents, but are a bit easier on the budget. Decent shoes.

These shoes have incredible traction. Cannot imagine a better shoe for the price.

For the money, these are great shoes. They are great for bouldering sessions, they are pretty comfy, and they have a decent amount of sensitivity. They aren't as sensitive as my Stingers, but they cost half as much. Great gym shoe, good all-around shoe.
