Not for my narrow heels, won't break in

By Ranked #72 - Rock Climbing Shoes February 18, 2009

These are the fourth pair of climbing shoes I've owned, and unfortunately they are not good shoes for me. Other reviewers have said that they're great for narrow feet/heels. I have narrow heels and I find that the heel cup is simply too big. No matter how I lace these shoes, my heels have a lot of up and down movement in them, even though they're sized down a full size from my street shoes. I also can't get them to break in, despite wearing them for 2-3 hours at a time at least 3 times a week for the last five months. My other shoes broke in just fine with similar wear. I will go back to my Five Tens as soon as they are resoled. Bottom line: Not a bad shoe, just not right for me. Don't assume that they will be a good fit for your narrow feet/heels.
