"If you don't mind changing shoes directly after finishing a route, buy them"

First of all I bought these a week ago for thirty dollars more at a local store, so they are at a great price. More importantly, I love these shoes. The toe is amazing. It cuts in perfectly. And the heel is ready to hook. Over all it is an aggressive shoe and feels great while climbing. I instantly noticed a difference. They look sharp and Velcro tight. My only complaint is when I am not climbing they hurt. I am a tolerant person but these shoes are killer. It is not the toe box so much as it is they way the heel cuts in and pinches. They do not break in. Also these are not a shoe to buy a size down, they run small as is. Despite the pain, I would recommend them.
These shoes are absolutely amazing! I have a pretty narrow foot and was climbing with Muiras previously and i was getting a littel sick of having to really crank the velcro in order to get a tigh fit on my foot so i decided to give these Scarpas a try. WOW i love the way they feel the heel fits amaing they feel great on the rock I am 100% sold! I wear and 8.5 street shoe and clibed in 38.5 for my Muiras I got true to size in these, 39.5, and personally thought they were plenty tight if your really into tight shoes maybe go down a half size but I couldn't be happier with mine! Definitely try this shoe!!
Had this for half a year now, and still it is an odyssey to put them on. They come really really small. Before this I had the Katana, size 37, fitted perfect. This ones are 38.5 and i can“t leave them on for more than 15 minutes without leaving my toes cramped and my heel hurting. Nevertheless, i guess, if the shoe fits right, are pretty good. I use this mostly for bouldering and indoor climbing, the rubber is good, they stick well. I love the elastic tongue, they give a nicer support than a regular tongue, just be sure to try them on before going with this ones because they definitely are for narrow feet.
"Bottom line this shoe is awesome and everyone should buy it."

I recently bought this shoe for bouldering and have never been more satisfied. By climbing shoe standards this shoe was immediately comfortable (especially on the padded tongue), edged well, heel hooked, and was easy to get on and off with the velcro straps. By far my favorite shoe.
