La Sportiva Venom Climbing Shoe

Rating for this product: 5 February 27, 2008

After researching to figure out the sizing, I found that downsizing 3.5 sizes from your street shoe was common. La Sportiva recommends downsizing 2-3 from street.They run big. I wear a size 8, 2E width street shoe and I went with a 36.5 which is almost 3.5 sizes smaller. (Aggressive sizing) but they will stretch approx 0.5 Eu size. If my foot was any wider I probably wouldn't buy this shoe. I wore them on/off round the house a couple times before climbing in em to break em in. Break in was a bit painful but worth every second. As they stretch they mold to your foot and create a suction as you take them off/on. They now fit like a glove, typical La Sportiva. They easily handled anything I threw at them (no crack). Very sensitive. I have no performance complaints whatsoever. I will probably buy a 36 next time to fit my smaller foot(0.5 EU diff) Soft, sticky, rubber - get your foot work right they'll last longer. Rubber webbing on the toe helps minimize stretch to get your toe hook on.
