"Comfy all arounder" |
06/17/09 |
| Picked these up on a great deal. Glad I got them! I'm a climbing shoe junkie, and these are my go-to for near everything. First off they are very comfortable, and can be used all day. The thin toe profile finds itself at home in cracks, they edge well, and they are sensitive enough for bouldering. They fit my high arch/narrow heel/low volume feet . I went down one size from my street shoe, I own another pair of these 2.5 sizes smaller from my street shoe for diff climbs. Buy em, you won't regret it! | |

"Great shoe. You get what you pay for." |

| This has to be one of the best, it not the best shoe I've ever climbed on. Supper sticky rubber, relatively comfortable, and easy to get on and off. The toe lets me stand on any thing and the heal is perfect for heal hooks. All this being said, you can get a shoe that is almost as good for half the price of this one. But it you have the money go for a high end shoe like this one. | |

"great shoes, some of the best i've had. la sportiva quality." |
03/29/09 |
| these shoes keep you on the wall. they are relatively aggressively shaped but not so much that it's super down-turned. the rubber is good, probably my favorite in terms of feel and stickiness. i like the opposing velcro system. gives you a nice tight and solid connection with the shoe. will continue to resole these and buy them as needed. one of my favorite pairs. | |

"Bumble Bees Hit the Spot" |

| These shoes stick! Very comfortable for all day climbing and the gym. Good quality but overall finish could be better. Although who cares about that since they get beat up anyways. A little big around the heel and you should size a half size smaller than your street shoe. They do stretch but not the overall length. | |

"excellent shoe" |
07/02/08 |
| I got these because I really wanted a shoe as good as my prior shoes, which were Katanas. I've really liked La Sportiva shoes so far. I've had a couple of pairs of Mythos, resoled multiple times and still going strong. I switched to these because I wanted the on/off speed of velcro. The velcro is very convenient, and I like that the straps go in opposite directions so you can easily get a very tight fit. My old Katanas weren't busted or overly worn out, I just wanted something while those got resoled. They're nice and sticky, and I like the slightly downturned toe for bouldering. Having the entire heel coated in rubber is also useful for odd foot placements. I highly recommend these shoe | |

| Awesome shoe. May be a little uncomfortable, but this fact is made up for in how well the shoe climbs. The best shoe I have ever owned. | |

"Good shoe, with a solid heel and a nice sharp edge." |
03/25/08 |
| I bought these after my Mad Rocks wore out. The Velcro is a big plus when you need to switch off and belay, and the circular pads of Velcro material allow you to adjust the direction of the straps if your foot shape is different than the default. The heel on these shoes is deep, and sticks to my foot. Heel hooking is more fun than ever, and the shoe doesn't come off my foot at all. The edge is sharp, and the rubber is sticky. All-in-all this is the best shoe I've owned yet. Good for bouldering, and good on face climbs. | |
