Love these

I love these shoes. I wear them a half size smaller than my normal shoe size and they formed to my feet well. Fairly stiff, great for edging, and they seem to be able to hold on any of the small nubbins that I put them up to (the kind where you don't think it'll work, you try it anyway, and seconds later you're standing to the next hold). Love the XS rubber in comparison to others I have tried. Definitely a harder feel that seems more solid to me when you're trying to hold something. The only negative is that after 2 seasons of use the velcro has lost its ability to hold, but that's an easy fix and they've gone through many on/off cycles. I have heard people say that the sizing is weird with Scarpas, so you might have to know your scarpa size or try on a couple before you find the right fit. For me though, the half size down worked great after a brief break in period.
