Good shoes. They're comfortable and stick well. Because they're very flexible, I probably wouldn't use them in cracks.

I prefer them over my Evolvs and Mythos on slabs or in the gym. Because I climb on my first MP joint quite a bit, it tends to get painful with so little support there. They do not inflame my achilles tendonitis the way the Evolvs do.

I really like these shoes, and I wouldn't go any smaller than your street shoe size. Mine are my street shoe size and my toes are still crunched up.

It was a little less roomy than I expected, but then, I was squishing 4 of my kids into my Subaru Forester for a 10 day camping trip in the Eastern Sierras. We managed to get all of the sleeping gear and clothing into it, but that's pretty much it. I wish it had been a bit longer from front to back.

Easy to use and set up, however. We couldn't have done it without it.

They're fairly decent as far as comfort and fit for this type of slipper. They are better for footwork than my Mythos (still my favorite for trad climbing). At first it was very annoying to find they get VERY smelly VERY quickly. Then I discovered I can wash them in Woolite in the sink (after spraying with Lysol) and they are as good as new. They're inexpensive enough that rather than have them resoled, I just buy a new pair every few months.

Normally comfortable and wearable, with all-around good performance under most circumstances, this last pair I bought seems to run a little large -- so be forewarned.

My last pair of the green shoes were a size 39. I bought another pair of 39's in early 2007 and find my heel slips out, even with a pair of "sockies" inside. I definitely will be looking for some snug, high-performance shoes for overhangs!

Admittedly, I haven't used very many other brands, but whenever I try others in the store, I always go back to these. They can't be beat as far as comfort and when you're outdoors climbing all day, especially on long routes, it's a huge plus! I never have that nasty pinching at the back of my right foot the way I have in others. They seem to mold to my size and shape!
