La Sportiva Nago Climbing Shoe

La Sportiva Nago Climbing Shoe

Rating for this product: 4 February 20, 2009

I just lost a pair, but they were very comfortable and great as my first shoes. i disagree with the whole foot-turns-red thing. maybe my feet don't sweat much, but it was barely noticeable - and who cares anyway? wearing socks is just silly. I got my pair about .5 too tight, and I think that hurt my ability to smear somewhat.

As for the appearance, I got about 8 comments from people on how cool these shoes look. For example, "If I had shoes that looked like that, I'd never take them off." They look better in person than in the pic.

sizewise, i bought mythos for my next pair and the sizing was identical. now that I've used both, i might prefer these to the mythos.

La Sportiva Mythos Climbing Shoe - Men's DO NOT USE

Rating for this product: 5 February 11, 2009

I know many people who complain about listening too much to this "size way down" philosophy with their first pair of shoes. See climbing.com's forum for "lessons learned" on this too. Yes, you CAN size down 1.5 sizes and you will manage and the shoe will accommodate you. But that would also be stupid, you will cause yourself unnecessary discomfort, and you will hinder your performance.
Go to a store and try on shoes by La Sportiva to find the right size. Your toes should NOT curl up much in these shoes, even when they are fresh. Just get them snug, not painful. Then you can order them from here if you prefer.
