This shoe would be 5/5 just like the mens VS and for GOOD REASON, if it wasn't for some whiners who couldn't handle a barely noticeable print on a small strip of leather aroun…

All around great shoe. Great for edging and standing on tiny crystals or pebbles that it makes you wonder sometimes how is it possible you haven't fallen off yet. Rubber is pl…

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.…

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 moved from the Evolv Elektra, my first shoe, to these about a year ago. Definitely a wise choice for someone who is getting serious about their climbing. While they were muc…

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…

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'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…

This a great shoe. Designed by the same guy who did the Sportiva Testarossas, they are very aggressively downturned. The amazing thing is that they stay downturned due to the…

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…
