By Ranked #755 - Climbing Shoes November 2, 2010

Easily the most comfy shoe I own, even though I had to aggressively size them down to get a tight bouldering fit (that being said, i like my shoes TIGHT). I normally take a 40 or 39.5 in sportiva to get a tight fit, but these stretch significantly so I went all the way down to a 38.5. As a result, they're much more aggressive on the steeps than my anasazis, but just as comfy and supple. They offer ridiculous feel and precision on the rock, especially after they've molded to the exact shape of your feet. As someone that usually climbs in stiff, synthetic edging shoes, these are a dream like change of pace when precision is key.
