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…

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 admit, I was lost and searching for solace when I came across these shoes. I'd been looking for a kick a** climbing shoe capable of shredding face climbs with the best of th…

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 love these shoes for indoor rock-walls, but prefer a different pair for outdoor bouldering and climbing. The soles on these seem more friable and don't grip the granite (or…

I got these shoes a few weeks ago and I love them! I got my street shoe size (8) and they are still very snug...my toes even hurt after a little while...so I definitely recomm…

I am in LOVE with these shoes. Edges well, jams well, smears VERY well. The Stealth C4 soles are super grippy and make me feel like I can stick to any surface. They definitely…

I recently bought this shoe for bouldering and have never been more satisfied. By climbing shoe standards this shoe was immediately comfortable (especially on the padded tongu…

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…

These shoes are really sensitive and great for edging. I feel very confident and solid on really small areas where I need to place my foot. The toe is sharp and pointy and aga…

I think the distinguishing characteristic of Five Ten women's shoes are their smaller heels. I've tried other brands, and their heels are just too big for me, and dig into my…

It's a good all-around shoe, but if you have wide (even slightly wide) feet, stay away! These shoes are Low Volume, & Five Ten made the LVs for women because the majority of w…

Decent aggressive shape, lace-up are handy for those of us with narrow feet. Great heel rand and pretty good for edging.…

I bought this shoe because I needed something a little more aggressive than my Anasazis for bouldering this past season. I was drawn to them because I thought they looked like…

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…

This is my first pair of Scarpas. After hearing a friend talk on and on about his Mago's I decided to try the female version of the Booster which is a velcro version of the M…

I bought these shoes to get back into climbing after being away for a few years. They are really great shoes for beginners. Very comfortable. I would suggest ordering a whole…

I have only used these shoes in a climbing gym but they seem to be a great multipurpose type shoe. They seem to be true to size and I love the more feminine look that they hav…

I love these shoes. After you break them in a bit these shoes are super comfortable! Buy a size small they will stretch a bit!…

comfortable + effective? is that possible? are these really climbing shoes!??! like the other reviews said, buy the smallest size you can squeeze into - they'll be tight at…

I love these shoes! Velcro shoes never seem to get tight enough, but the laces definitely do their job. Sizing is correct, so I didn't have to return them 3 times to get the r…

Nice thigh fitting especially for narrow feet. The laces permit to adjust the shoes perfectly. The asymmetrical form allows precise edging.…

You can't really grow with this shoe. I bought it as a beginner and outgrew it within two months. It doesn't edge very well and the rubber is not sticky at all. It would be…

This was my first climbing shoe I ever bought. Keep in mind that is is leather so it will stretch, definitely want a tight fit to start. I got a size and a half smaller than…
