Comments about La Sportiva Nago Rock Shoes - Women's:
These were my first pair of shoes and fit like a sock after 2 or 3 days of climbing. I climbed consistently 3 times a week at an indoor gym and wore a hole in both shoes on the toe (smeared too much) after about 2 1/2 months. (I went with the Katana for my next pair b/c the rubber's a thicker around the toe) But I would definitely recommend them to a beginner as they are cheaper and comfortable. I'm a size 7.5/8 and went with a size 37 so go a size or so smaller (they will stretch a little).

Comments about La Sportiva Nago Rock Shoes - Women's:
This is my first pair of shoes, so I can't say too much compared to other models, but after taking them out for a few climbs, I have to say that I feel much more confident in my footwork, and I find myself trusting my feet more than when I had to rent shoes. The grip is excellent, and they have a very snug fit, so my feet don't move around in the shoes, but they are not hurting either. They're probably not the best if you like to use heel hooks, as the sole around the heel is very basic. They're great shoes if you're starting out like I am, and I think they'd make very good all-around shoes.

Comments about La Sportiva Nago Rock Shoes - Women's:
These are my first pair of climbing shoes and I don't think I could have picked a better pair. I started off inside on a wall and they performed well. It wasn't until I went outside for the first time and had to trust my feet on nothing larger than holds the size of pencil erasers that I knew I loved these shoes. My climbing partner hated her shoes, tried mine and got herself a pair the next week. It's amazing what a good rubber sole will do for your climbing ability.

Comments about La Sportiva Nago Rock Shoes - Women's:
These shoes are serving me well on both indoor and outdoor. They're relatively comfortable (for climbing shoes), and since it's a pain to tie/untie the laces sometimes I'll even keep them on between climbs.
Definitely try on climbing shoes -- they all fit very differently. I wear a 7.5/8 and purchased a 38.5.

Comments about La Sportiva Nago Rock Shoes - Women's:
These are by far my favorite shoes. They are so comfortable and the edging is great. I've used these outdoors exclusively and have had great results. I've worn them for multi-pitch friction climbing and it sticks very well even though it's a little harder than the normal shoes that you would want for friction climbing. On the long multi-pitch climbs, it's comfortable but I would recommend taking these off for rappelling. My big toes were slightly sore after I rapped with them on day one. That's normal when you're in climbing shoes for seven hours straight on multi-pitch. I wore these shoes three days straight and my feet were fine. I have a pair of Katana and they were painful to wear even on short climbs. My toes were excruciating doing one climb in my Katana but these shoes were amazing. I didn't really have a break in period. I normally wear a 6.5-7 street shoes and got a 37 in these. I would highly recommend them!

Comments about La Sportiva Nago Rock Shoes - Women's:
These are really great shoes. At first I assumed that because they were cheaper than the others, they were poorer quality. I was wrong, these are super comfortable, and the rubber is really sticky and durable. I'm lovin' em.
Tried them outside on some long slab climbs and they were great, also climb a lot in the gym were they work almost as well. Really good on real rock, and also on plastic stuff.
The sizing seemed sort of big to me, I wore a 37.5 in my last shoes (different brand) and for these I have 36.5's soo..you might want to go try a pair on at the store if you can.

Comments about La Sportiva Nago Rock Shoes - Women's:
Like another reviewer I was angling for the Katana's and didn't feel really good about them. Tried on the Nago's and they fit really, really well. Super comfortable, snug fit all around, and good and tight in the toe for the right shape without being painful.
Felt nice and solid indoors. I look forward to putting these on before climbing!

Comments about La Sportiva Nago Rock Shoes - Women's:
This is my first pair of climbing shoes that have the x-grip rubber and it's true to its name. Many of my friends have La Sportiva & it was highly recommended. After trying the Katana model; I wasn't crazy about the fit. The Nago caught my eye and tried them...wow! The fit was great since I have a wide foot. I took them outside to test their edging ability and I was amazed. I found little small indentions and was able to make it stick. This will definitely boost your confidence knowing that your shoes will stick! I tested them indoor and wasn't impress so I think this is a better outdoor shoe. I plan to resole one of my other climbing shoes with this sticky rubber. On top that, the Nago cost much less than the Katana.
