Comments about La Sportiva Tarantulace Rock Shoes:
Been looking for something to replace my old la sportivas. I went through the 5-10 newton, la sportiva nago, all the evolv's at REI, miura. This ended up being the only shoe with the right amount of stiffness for edging (lots stiffer than something like the nago or coyote), but soft enough to smear. (Also it was the only pair that did not give me hotspots/rub on top of my big toe and/or bursitis on my heel.)
I haven't been climbing that long, but this shoe easily conquers 4's at the gym.

Comments about La Sportiva Tarantulace Rock Shoes:
I climb exclusively outdoors for the time being and have climbed with these shoes avidly, 3+ days a week for the past 2 months. For the first month, these shoes were amazing. They fit very snug, are true to size, and lace up very tight. After the first month, the eyelits for the laces popped out on both shoes. A few days ago, I noticed a hole in the toe the size of the thumb tack. I feel like the shoes aren't very durable. They would be amazing for indoor and bouldering, but on limestone or anything as rough outdoor, they are not ideal.

Comments about La Sportiva Tarantulace Rock Shoes:
Great shoes right out of the box. Spent 5 hours clmbing in them the day after I bought them and the performed great. They were able to hold small toe holds and slick smears (which is what I was looking for). They started forming to my feet after the first couple of routes, but did not get flimsy. I would recommend these to anyone contimplating the Mythos or similar level shoes, as I was keeping up with and finishing things my budy wearing those were not. I had also looked at those shoes but decided that the $60 price difference was worth the shot. Still will problably end up with them in the future, but these are great shoes to grow with.

Love this shoe! I took these out of the box at the gym, climbed for 2 straight hours, and had absolutely zero foot pain! It doesn't get better than this!

Comments about La Sportiva Tarantulace Rock Shoes:
These are my first climbing shoes, I've been using them for two months now. Have yet to find a spot where I can't get a good foot hold, they smear VERY well. These shoes are very tight and feel uncomfortable, I say that as a positve because I can feel everything, there are no gaps between my feet and the shoe. They feel uncomfortable every time I put them on but I quickly forget I'm wearing them. They leave red marks but I have yet to get a blister or swollen feet. I wear them two to three hours a day three days a week on everage, mainly for indoor climbing but I have also used them outdoors and they performed better than indoors.
