the sickness

By cw Ranked #1290 - Climbing Shoes October 27, 2008

Being a devout sportiva fan all I can say is that these things are sooo sick!. I use these primarily for bouldering and the super aggressive last is just perfect.

Not a single dead space in the entire shoe, super aggressive toe, perfect edges, amazing as always miura heel and the 3 velcro straps allow for a super precise fit. In the toe area it even looks like sportiva looked into remolding the rubber to fix that separation that happens with the bottom rubber and the upper rand (common to almost every sportiva shoe ive owned).

In terms of sizing I agree with the other reviewers when they say a 1/2 size down from your regular Sportiva size. Im a 40 in Vipers and Katanas, a 39 1/2 in Venoms , and I ordered a 39 1/2 in these and they fit very snug but not unlike any new shoe (like I said, I use these for boudlering so I like a tight fit.)
