unlike so many ex girlfriends at your ten-year highschool reunion, these puppies hold their shape. the p3 tech is no joke, as advertised. strap'em down as tight as your old mi…

These shoes are straight BAWLIN' yo! Beaked toe, leather, form-fitting, ridiculous pimpin' design like you've never SEEN! I put these on my feet and I was like "WHHHATTTT?!…

Really comfy, really flexible, good beginner shoe. Stretches like a mofo so get em super tight.…

It's not my favourite pair of climbing shoes. I wear them when my other pair get too stinky. My feet are fairly wide towards my toes so the fit isn't the best in these. Instep…

I wore these for a couple of months, and in that time I found a couple of things I *hated* about them. 1) they are funky as hell. If you don't lysol them, they get pretty cr…

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.…

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…

The Miura could be called the perfect shoe. I bought mine specifically for a comfy all day trad shoe, but since have started using them on my boulder projects and shorter spor…

My go to shoe for anything on a flat or slab wall. stands up to a beating as well considering that I have used them 4 times a week for 3-6 hours a session for the last 4 month…

These are the stiffest shoes I have owned. These are possibly the most comfy shoes I own as well. The microfiber split tongue makes these shoes a peach to wear for multi-pitch…

I feel that this shoe doesn't have much toe space as the downturned shoes. Sportiva accommodates this much more. I tried to downsize and my toes were just cramping too much. I…

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…

These are, by far the best climbing shoes I've ever worn. I can't count how many pairs i've gone through, they edge & smear equally well. you can sport, trad, boulder, or gy…

I've climbed with these shoes for over 3 years and a few re-soles. Pros: The rubber is great, super sticky and perfect on granite or schist. Slight downturn that is per…

The feel in these shoes are amazing. I had a pair of Muira VSs for 2 seasons and loved them and wanted something a little more sensitive. These fit the bill! Still love my Mui…

If you have a wide foot like I do then I would suggest trying these on before buying. They are lace-ups so that helps but my feet were still just bulging out. I'm going to s…

This are great shoes! They really improved my climbing coming from my Evolv Defys. They could edge credit cards, the rubber makes smears super grippy, and the turndown really…

I've been climbing for several years now and recently picked up a pair of these. I initially spotted them because they are the coolest looking shoe I've seen in a while. Could…

The LaSportiva Katana has performed admirably in our local climbing gym and I am looking forward to summer craggin in them. This is the first pair of rock shoes that fit right…

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…

They edge ok but not great, they have not worn very well, they are only slightly uncomfortable, they are reasonably sticky. Overall they are just ok. I have since upgraded to…

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…

Probably the most comfortable climbing shoes I've ever worn + everything you would want from climbing shoes. I have a wider foot, and I thought it would be hard to find shoes…

I bought these back when I started climbing and have loved them ever since. In fact, I love them so much that I just bought a 3rd pair. I have tried many other shoes but none…

I use my cobra's for everything from bouldering to overhanging sport. It excels on overhangs due to the downturn but its still comfortable enough to wear for single pitch spo…

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…

Being an avid climber based in the Nashville area I expect my shoes to perform well and be able to trust them no matter where I place them in a climb. The no edge concept is…

I have been really happy with the performance of these shoes. I sized down 2 sizes from my street size and they hurt incredibly bad for the first 2 days but they broke in qui…

I used the shoes for the first time yesterday at Paradise on the Brazos. The climbs have smooth Limestone. I love the way this shoe is super flexible to wrap itself around a f…

I am climbing on my second pair of Bandits. This is my middle of the road shoe. It can perform well on friction,crack, and edging. I would say that out of these its strong…

I'll start by saying that these are not the most comfortable shoes, but why would you buy downturned shoes if you were looking for comfort? You buy them because you want extra…

I love this shoe but it is a really snug fit. If you have wide feet it may not be the best shoe for you. They do stretch so size down. I wear a 10-10.5 street shoe and I go…

This shoe is legit. I've never had better grip on a wall than with these shoes. The rubber on the toe is awesome for toe hooks and STEALTH rubber sticks to everything. They…
