All Around Performance and Comfort

By wlc3158103 Ranked #831 - Climbing Shoes November 6, 2009

These are the most comfortable aggressive shoes I've worn.

I wear a street size of 12.5 and a 43 in Sportiva Solutions(pretty tight fit). I ordered a 12 in these, and I will go down a half size when I replace them for more secure heel hooks. The 3d heel itself is great. It will stay on most everything, but when my heel's above my head, my foot can pull out a bit.

This shoe is very stiff. The toe has great power, without killing your big toe, but don't expect to "grab" holds with it. Edging is solid, but you have very little feel. The shoe smears better than I thought it would with the dual density sole, but smearing isn't really what this shoes about. Toe hooking is secure and fairly painless (as toe-hooking goes anyway).

Quality is solid. I'd say the rubber is at least as sticky as Sportivas.

Overall great shoe for a reasonable price
