My go-to climbing shoe for sport climbing and bouldering

By Ranked #55 - Climbing Shoes July 27, 2011

I wear a size 5 shoes in womens and bought these in a 4. These were super tight and painful at first, but after wearing them consistently for over a year, they feel perfect. The downturned toe really made a difference compared to wearing a shoe like the Mythos. I really feel like these shoes improved my climbing confidence. Tried wearing them for crack climbing in Indian Creek, since I had nothing else. They did the job, but I can see how other shoes like the TC Pros or Mocassyms (I know I know both very different shoes) would work better for IC crack. I'm glad I snagged a pair on steepandcheap since they don't make them anymore.
