a shoe that only gets better as you use it i have climbed through the rubber and then resoled these babies three times and each time its like falling in love. great for learning, bouldering, thin cracks, face climbing and anything else I missed. you can Send anything from 5.5 to 5.14 (If your Sharama) best all rounder ever

nothing can beat this shoes rubber and because of it it smears beautifully. Also climb slab with tinie tiny edges perfectly. this shoes really out perform my friends rockwrenches even on overhangs but especially on slab. they fit like a glove and my feet feel at home when they get in these puppies.quick and easy on and off. just get these shoes already.
These are probably the best all-around climbing shoes that a person can buy.They're pretty cumfy (as much as any climbing shoe can be) and smehow they manage to stay smelling good even after months of climbing without socks. They work great for crack climbing and for just smearing up a rock. The only downside is that whenever you take them off the crazy red fabric in the shoe rubs off on your foot, which makes your foot look like a tomato. The first tim I took them off I thught I was having some weird allergic reaction. Anyway, these are great shoes for any entry-level climber, or an avid pro who's been doing it for years.
I bought these about a year ago and have been climbing a lot in them since. They are by far my favorite shoes! My street size is 10.5 and got these in a size 9.5. At first they were pretty tight. I jammed my big toe because I climbed in the so much, which put me on crutches for a few days. (This is the part where you learn from my mistake). After a while they stretched out and are now oh so comfortable! They are sensitive, so you can really feel the rock which results in improved footwork. They don't toe hook well, but heel hooks are doable. Probably not a beginner shoe. I would buy these shoes again! And yes they do turn your feet red, but come on who cares! These shoes are wicked awesome!!
I ordered them as a second pair in order to keep my Miuras off indoor plastic (which eats shoes whole). I couldn't be happier. Your foot will lay flat and they are slip ons so don't expect miracles on pockets or heel hooks but these mothers are sticky and edge very well. I wear a 11 to a 12 in street shoes and take a 10 in these so, take a size down from your smallest street shoe and you should be happy. My only complaint is the tabs on the back. Wtf was 5.10 thinking with the one on the inside? The trick to squeezing your foot in there is to put the toe on the ground and bend the shoe forward as you jam your foot in. My foot fills the whole shoe and I am psyched whenever I climb with them!
I really like these shoes, they are comfy, and easy to get off and on. The down side is after a few months of use (and I climb everyday) they losen up but still work great. They are good for all abilities, I only use them inside on rock walls, It been winter cant use them Ice climbing in Maine, Planning a trip next week with them
After going through 3 pairs of Evolve Defys, I eventually acquired a trad rack and a mad hate for the stank of synthetic shoes- so I had to try these. I have been using them for gym climbing and an 11-day stay in Joshua Tree and I love them. I wear these a half-size down from the Evolves, and they are great for wearing all day. I don't like these for bouldering or overhanging indoor leading. They just don't cinch down like a laced/velcro shoe does, and the flexible sole allows my heel feel like it will pop out-forget heel hooking. Alas, after 6 months of hard use, there is hardly any smell polluting my room or post-climbing game with women. These are fantastic trad/multi-pitch shoes.

I love my Mocs! Just had em resoled and it is as good as new. They are the PERFECT slab, multi pitch, cracks, everything shoes. The only thing i don't like them on is steep edging. They get a lil floppy when they're broken in. The C4 rubber on these is hands down the best rubber on the market and if you're going to resole, always go with it! Wear em all day, comfortably. Beware of Red feet!
I have owned my fair share of climbing shoes and these are definitely in the running for my favorite. you will definitely want to size down in these even if you want a flat toe fit. I wear a 9 in the anasazi velcro and those are sung, and i got these in an 8.5 and they are my comfortable all day shoes. these are perfect for small cracks and have a lot of sensitivity for smearing. The one downfall is that they aren't the best at heel hooking but the other benefits more than make up for it. Once you break these things in you will dread the day that they wear out.
If you are in the market for a good climbing shoe, look no further! Have had these bad boys for 3 years now and they are holding up great. Love not having to tie or velcro them, just lifting down the heel when I want a break. They molded very well to my feet and are comfy now. I wear a 12-13 and got 11.5 and they work great. One thing that I dont like about them is that they left red dye on my feet everytime i used them for the first year. It goes away but when I was done it looked like my feet were f'ed up due to the dye.
When I need good surface area for smearing on slabby routs I reach for my Moccasyms. They are great all around shoes, comfortable for long climbs and aren't too much hastle to get on or off. The first few uses tend to leave your feet dyed red if you sweat.
