These were the first rocking climbing shoes I used. so far i have used it a little over a month now. one thing i have to say is. I love it ! here are the pro and con Pro 1): it stands out. 2): perfect fit as it ajust after a few days of using. 3): perfect for climbing in all aspects (in my opinion because it's my first shoes.) Con 1): got a blister on my big toe after the first time. (my toe got used to it, no more blister :) ) 2): my toes have to curl a little when walking around. (got used to it)

Great trad shoe
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
I've used a pair of these while climbing across Europe - in the French Alps, Swiss limestone, and Finland's short granite. They gone up trad routes up to 25 pitches (Le Soleil Rendezvous Avec la Lune) and sport climbs up to 5.13b. Recently I've been taking them back to the Chamonix cliffs on Red Pillar on up to 10 pitch routes, and up to 6b+. It may not be the best bouldering shoe for anyone, but I really love the look and comfort of these from Mad Rock. Definitely a great shoe for the price, as well. I like to call them the Wes Anderson shoe of crack climbing because of the color. They did stretch a little over the year that I used them, but they are still my go-to for comfort on long crack climbs.

Excellent budget trad shoe

I never write reviews but I had such a hard time finding sizing info on this so here we go. Most of my climbing these days is training on long traverses and trad. Also, I have an old foot injury that acts up when I spend too much time on micro edges with mocs and other thin shoes, so I wanted a stiff shoe. Honestly I needed something for trad while I resole my favorite shoes, TC Pros. Just climbed about 600? in them and jammed in a roof crack and I?m sold on them, especially for the price. Comfortable out of the box, stiff enough for my toe to not hurt after standing on 1/4? edges, jammed great and painless even upside down. They even look hip and retro! I am a 10 street shoe no matter brand: Nike, Birkenstock, etc Sizing: I size aggressively but not into pain or curled toes TC Pro 9 Mocassym 9 Phoenix 9.5 so half size down. Tried a 10 and a 9 and the 10 had too much room (no contact between toe and end) when I pointed my foot and the 9 was excruciating For reference I?ve climbed 8 years

Excellent Intermediate Shoe
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
This is a great shoe for the intermediate climber, and excellent value as well. The sole is quite stiff allowing for excellent edging and takes a lot of stress of your feet when climbing for long periods. It's also surprisingly comfortable. After you get used to it, you'll really start trusting your feet even on very small footholds. One tradeoff: being stiffer than most beginner shoes, you will lose some sensitivity in "feeling" for holds with your feet. This is minor, however, and well worth the trade off as you are moving into the intermediate grades. Sizing: I wear a size 10.5 street shoe and sized up to a 11.5. A 10.5 was far too small. An 11 probably would have worked for an "aggressive fit," but I prefer not to be taking my shoes on and off all the time at the crag. An 11.5 was perfect for me: very comfortable, but still tight enough to be very effective.
