All Around Comfort

By Grant Helgeson Ranked #186 - Climbing Shoes October 6, 2010

These were my first pair of climbing shoes. I wear a US mens size 11.5 street shoe, and I got these in euro size 42.5 (us mens size 9.5). They were a little snug at first but soon stretched into a very comfy fit. I wore these shoes for two full seasons. After that they were relegated to my alpine/trad shoes, as I replaced them with a more aggressive shoe for harder sport routes. They treated me SO well. Great rubber, and great fit for my smaller volume feet.

My wife and I went to Thailand for the month of November last year. Turns out I accidentally left the sport shoes at home. No worries, I climbed all day (almost) every day for a month in these things, and they killed it, climbing at the edge of my ability (5.11ish) The last day they finally blew out. Upon returning home, I promptly ordered another pair.
