Sizing Notes
For boots: Add one half size to your street shoe size. You should be able to slip one finger behind your heel when you are standing up with the boot unlaced and your toes touching the front. If the boot is too short, your toes will get smashed walking downhill. Too long and your heel will slide up and down and give you blisters.

My new favorite shoe
Yes , I recommend this product
Got these shoes after my solutions had to go in for a resole. I sized down from 39.5 -> 39 just because that was the size that was available. Incredibly good shoe, for the most part, fits the same as the solution with a slightly narrower heel which ended up being perfect for me. Each point of contact is incredibly sticky and inspires a lot of confidence (though I've only had it for a month and a half so we'll see how long the rubber lasts). Loving the velcro strap closure as the solution strap broke on both shoes.

Great indoor shoe!
Yes , I recommend this product
Climbing shoes are totally subjective depending on your climbing style, your climbing shoe needs, and the shape of your foot. Personally, I found this shoe to be an excellent addition to my climbing shoe collection! It is incredibly soft with thin rubber under the toe, providing more sensitivity on holds. The softness of the shoe is excellent for smearing and indoor slab. Although the forefront of this shoe isn't super wide, as someone with wide feet, I am happy to share that the soft structure is pretty forgiving. The rubber padding on the top of the toe is more than enough, allowing for seamless toe hooks. I also like the heal cup on this shoe, as it is more of La Sportiva's "fitted" style (rather than the molded heel cup) and conforms to the shape of my heal better than most. I am usually a US women's 8.5 in street shoes. After trying this shoe on in a variety of sizes, I found that the 39EU (w7.5) fit me best for a performance fit. To anyone looking for a solid indoor shoe, whether it be bouldering or wall climbing, I would definitely recommend this one! Paired with my La Sportiva Solution Comps, I feel unstoppable on any indoor project.

Poor sensitivity
No, I do not recommend this product
I found these shoes to have very little sensitivity which surprised me considering how flexible they are. Will be returning them, sad to say.

I had the Skwama before these, and love these more since they are stickier and I can trust my feet so much more. Favorite shoe I have tried!
