Sticky but Small

By Kim Havell Ranked #533 - Rock Climbing Shoes November 6, 2008

Just got these shoes and went off sizing recommendations. Found that going one whole size smaller is too much, or else your first few uses will be a bit painful. I would recommend going 1/2 size smaller (depending on how you like your fit). I am an 8-8.5 foot and think the 39 (not 38) would be the best sizing. I do not have a narrow foot and so did not find any issue with the heel being too loose. The rubber is very sticky and shoes are great for precision moves. Love the velcro flaps- makes it easy on/off and holds the fit extremely well. Wear these both crack and sport climbing. Most friends with these, however, prefer the shoes for the sport routes.
