Wow......

By Ranked #3 - Climbing Shoes November 5, 2007

Let me start by saying how incredibly painful it is when i first jammed my wide us11 street size foot into a size 11us dragons. It was so painful I thought id just return these shoes. It took about 4 days of wearing these at my desk to finally have them fully stretch out and conform to my foot. It feels tight like a glove and performs up to to expectations. If they made the rubber any stickier, ur gonna have a hard time pulling ur feet off the rock. Heres how i sized them. I wear 10.5us in my anasazi vcs, 8.5 in sportiva katanas and 11us in these. They are a full size smaller than the anasazi. You want them TIGHT otherwise its pointless. The heel is phenomenal. doesn't move an inch when hooking. I only use these during bouldering which i would think is the only purpose of the dragons. If ur looking for the ultimate bouldering shoe, buy these. Worth every penny. Oh and buy a bag of frozen peas from the grocers after putting in ur order. Ur gonna need to ice those toes before they fully break in. Fight through the pain and you'll love these shoes. Thanks Kipp in customer service for the support.
