    Best-fitting shoes I've tried, at a very nice price; try these first!
  

*by I***? on Reviewed in the United States on July 2, 2017*

I've been climbing for over twenty years now, both indoors and out, mainly vertical, some overhung stuff, mainly 10's and 11's lately.  I guess I'm a casual fitness climber, not a super hardcore competitive type.I had an old version of this same shoe, used it for everything, and absolutely loved it.  But finally, my old ones wore out.  I used to work at a gear store, have tried most everything over the years, and I know a thing or two about climbing shoes and how they are supposed to fit.In my quest for a new shoe, I tried every single shoe at my local gym, then every shoe at REI, most of which were over $150.  Nothing fit.  I put my old shoes back on, and didn't want to take them off.  I was ready to spend any amount to get a good pair of shoes.  I don't know what's going on with shoe design lately, but half of what I tried on was simply not wearable.  I started thinking about re-soling my old ones, but the leather's going on top because I sometimes drag the tops of my feet, so that wasn't an option...  I started getting desperate, climbing in an ancient pair of lace-ups...Finally, I ordered a pair of these.  Heaven.  A painful sort of heaven, but heaven.  I wear a 9.5 or a 10 (US) in street shoes, sometimes a 10.5.  I got this shoe in a 9.5, like my old ones.  Yes, they are quite tight out of the box, and my toes knuckle pretty sharply.  It hurts a bit to walk around the house in them.  That's how climbing shoes fit.  If they're not just a bit painful at first, they're too loose.  But these are painful in exactly the right way; they compress the foot all over, and make contact absolutely everywhere.  There are no pressure points or loose spots, just perfection, a complete suction fit.  I can keep them on for about twenty minutes before it gets unbearable, which is about right for new shoes.  They'll stretch a bit, and be good for an hour, later on.The price is just a bonus; I was ready to spend $200 if I had to.  Instead, I bought shoes and a new harness for $100.  Thanks, Mad Rock!  Also, thanks for making these black and grey.  Some of us lived through the neon '80's, and have no desire to revisit that palette...I haven't even taken them to the gym yet, and I'm already really happy.  These have pointier toes than my old ones; looking forward to how they work.  But it's all about the fit...  Check these out first, is my advice.  At the price, and especially with free returns, it's literally impossible to go wrong.[Edit to add:  After a few months at the gym, these have relaxed, a little.  They're still a bit tighter, pointier, and more performance oriented than my old ones, and that's fine.  I do have to take them off every half hour or so.  Pretty ideal, I'd say.  Give these a try.]

    Nice pair of climbing shoes at a very affordable price! First pair I ordered was too small though. Very snug fit!
  

*by R***B on Reviewed in the United States on May 11, 2018*

Great quality shoes for an affordable price! Having that said, these shoes are a nightmare to purchase the correct size for! I wear a size 10.0(m) casual shoe and figured if i purchased a 10.5(m), it would be a snug fit, but they would be comfortable once they've been broken in. They were way to small though when they arrived, so I returned them in exchange for a size 11.5(m). I haven't received the new pair yet, but I expect it to be a much better fit. My advice would be to go a full size to a size and a half bigger for comfort. (It's very difficult to give good/solid advice on shoe sizing especially because these particular shoes size up differently for everybody. Some reviews say to buy a size smaller than you usually buy, and then others say to buy anywhere from half a size up to two full sizes up! In my opinion, buy the ones you think will fit comfortably first, then exchange them for a different size if they dont fit!)

    I would slip on some small foot holds where a more aggressive shoe would suit better but hasn't been too much of a problem as ..
  

*by C***P on Reviewed in the United States on September 20, 2016*

So I bought these as an entry level shoe, I didn't want to use rentals and these paid off in the end. I went a full size up, it's tight but tolerable might have gone only a half size up but I would probably die from pain. I've been climbing for about 5 months now. Mostly indoor and some outdoor. They worked well for the most part. I did notice when I started working on harder boulder problems, I would slip on some small foot holds where a more aggressive shoe would suit better but hasn't been too much of a problem as long as you got a good smear.  I also love the ease of Velcro. Overall good starter shoe for the price to stay out of stinky rental shoes.
