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?!…

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 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.…

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…

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…

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…

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…

I'm a guy. I bought these because the women's model has lower volume on the inside, so it's better for narrower feet. These are also much lighter than a lot of other shoes on…
