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…

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.…

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'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…

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…

I bought these last year and have loved them every time I wear them. I wear about 11.5 street shoe and went down to a 9.5 (42.5); they were extremely painful when I started wi…

This is my third pair of climbing shoes (I've had Mad Rock Mugens and 5.10 Anasazi Verde's) and they are by far the most comfortable I have owned. The shoes mold to your feet…

I love these shoes for sport and trad up too 5.11a or so. they are so comfortable and the unlined leather stretches to fit you foot. I love these shoes for delicate smears on…

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…

I really didn't understand the hubbub was about the ultra thin rubber. I figured rubber was rubber; then I put these suckers on. It was incredible, it was like the first time…

Awesome shoe, it runs a little smaller and narrower to most 5 10 shoes, my dragons were a size up from these. Relatively aggresive, very good fit, i really like the full rubbe…

These shoes are bad. They smell bad, they have bad rubber, and they aren't very tight. Don't buy these shoes unless you like climbing casually 1-2 times a year. Also, the leat…
