Great beginner/intermediate shoe
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
- Size Bought:
- 44
Been loving this shoe! I’ve been climbing for a year and a half now (gym only) and have used a couple different shoes. The first shoe I had was the La Sportiva Tarantulace. Great shoe for me as I was starting. Had some slippers after that didn’t hit the mark and then I got these. This shoe is great. It’s a touch more aggressive than its laced cousin, the Tarantulace. I also bought a half size smaller than the laced version as well. I went with a half size under my street size 11.5 US. Would highly recommend this shoe for someone looking for their second pair of climbing shoes. The rubber is great, very sticky. All around happy with my purchase :)

Not bueno

The heel cups are huge and the shoe lacks security in smearing, juggy bouldering and any techincal aspect outdoors. Maybe a gym shoe at best.

These are my first pair of climbing shoes. I have been renting shoes for indoor bouldering for a few months now. I was instantly more successful on the wall when I put these on. Their construction seems really solid and I feel like I will buy the same pair again when these get worn out. I like the extra rubber on the toe and I feel secure in these. I usually wear size 9 and sometimes 9.5 for street shoes. Sometimes 9's are too small.. I got these in 40.5 and the fit is tight and perfect. Toes are perfectly crammed without them being uncomfortable. I originally bought 41.5's but those had a little too much wiggle room at the toes, so I exchanged them.
