Similar to the Evolve Defy and other budget rock climbing shoes both in price and performance. After trying both the evolve on and this at the store, I felt that the Rogue had…

These shoes are advertised as transitional from gym to crag, but every time i've used them outside I can't put my trust in them. The edging isn't the greatest on tiny nubs an…

This shoe would be 5/5 just like the mens VS and for GOOD REASON, if it wasn't for some whiners who couldn't handle a barely noticeable print on a small strip of leather aroun…

All around great shoe. Great for edging and standing on tiny crystals or pebbles that it makes you wonder sometimes how is it possible you haven't fallen off yet. Rubber is pl…

These are your basic climbing shoe. I would recommend them, but you might also want to invest in some Gold Bond so as to fend off the stench that sets in quickly after use.…

I've used Evolv and FiveTen for so long, I thought that was as good as shoes got and that any improvements in my climbing were up to me. Then I got these bad boys. First of…

the best rock shoe I have ever owned, get them. they stretch quite a bit, for example I'm a 13 street shoe and the size 11's fit me perfectly after they stretch out, and are i…

climbing shoes are always super relative, but theres my 2 cents on this guy. I've owned two pairs and have them both resoled multiple times and they just keep getting better.…

These are my first pair of climbing shoes. After climbing in my vibram five fingers (which I also love) these shoes were a great wake up call as to how different climbing can…

La Sportiva Katanas are an awesome pair of climbing shoes and would recommend them to anyone! With the unique tongue of the shoe, they fit like no other. Great for edging (but…

I love these shoes for indoor rock-walls, but prefer a different pair for outdoor bouldering and climbing. The soles on these seem more friable and don't grip the granite (or…

I'm a fan of the 5.10 Anasazi great edging power; the gym clearing smell of the shoes, I'm not so psyched on. The Katanas are a lot like the Anasazis: flat last, sensitive ye…

2 words DOWN SIZE if you want this shoe to work to its fullest make sure you get the smallest size you could possibly get your foot into they stretch a lot. they are probably…

I climb slab, roofs, dead vertical faces with these! Do not let the slipper factor deter you from buying these shoes. I wear size 7 mens US and I wear a 35 1/2. If downsized c…

Overall, one of the best shoes out there. Definitely worth the money. The sides are great for edging and the rubber, in general, sticks like glue. They are very well made and…

The pointed toes are phenomenal at finding small edges and knobs to stick to. There is just no beating 5.10 rubber. As far as sizing goes, the Anasazis are already sized quite…

Some love 'em, some just can't figure out what is so great about them... My buddy feels the former. He mostly does friction and crack climbs. I am struggling with the latter,…

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…

I used to own a pair of 5.10 when i started off. They are a pretty good shoe to start off with. Something you might want to know is that the red bleeds alot and if you wearing…

Street size: 9.5, which is roughly 42.5 for Sportiva. I managed to squeeze into a 40 b/c that's all that was available when I ordered but lemme tell you, the shoe feels natur…

The only weakness of the solution is the strap, once that breaks they're hard to fix. I'm a HUGE sportiva fan and these don't disappoint. You can size them for comfy sport cli…

My street shoe size is 9. So based on an early review about these shoes, I bought a 9.5 size pair. Even though I was able to put my feet in them, all my toes were extremely c…

These shoes are definatly good to get for overhanging lines but they don't work so well on flat walls when you need to smear. I really enjoy that the laces go down to the toe…
