CAUTION SIZING -- MEN/WOMEN
I agree with the other reviewer that this is very misleading. This is a women's shoe, the URL states so, the description states so, and despite the picture on the website, the shoe received says RA Women, not RA LV. I assume Tenaya at one point replaced "Woman" with "LV" so men could also wear this shoe but still trying to get rid of the old stock first? (my guess) The problem is that the shoe size is listed in Men's not Women's. I knew I wanted the shoe, I knew what size I wanted, yet because of this, ordered an incorrect size and now I need to return which makes this so inconvenient because I don't have a Backcountry anywhere near me and need to pay to return it back. My size is also not in stock for an exchange. Shoe itself is great, no complaints. Fits *my* foot beautifully, top padding is not bulky like another I tried on and comfy. Maybe it's the banana boots I've put in but so far this doesn't smell like my old shoes. I'd gladly repurchase when these wear out. I indoor boulder exclusively. Size is true to size too. I wear 6 in non-sneakers (heels etc) and these fit perfect in WOMEN'S size 6.

Wrong sizing backcountry
I wore a hole through a previous pair and was repurchasing, so obviously I like this shoe. But backcountry messed up the sizing. It’s a women’s shoe so I ordered a size 8, received a men’s size 8 womens size 9. I now see in the fine print that it’s listed in men’s sizing, but why would you do that? Women’s shoes should be listed in women’s sizing. Do better.
