alot, like ALOT of people complain about the toe box on these shoes. I have pretty narrow feet with straight toes and yes these hurt for a little. I decided to stick it out and these ended up taking the shape of my foot very well and I am able to do some unbelievable foot holds now. I've had these for well over a year and just resoled them myself and it was very easy. GOTTA LET STUFF BREAK IN

Sadly poor quality, a very strange and uncomfortable fit (I've owned many different climbing shoes, these are genuinely bad). There's a joke at my gym where people show up with this shoe after getting it on some crazy sale, like we all did, before they realize it's truly awful.

misunderstood and sorely underrated all-rounder
1 year ago
Was looking for a decent gym all-rounder shoe for bouldering and sport routes. This fits the bill nearly perfectly. I've been climbing in these for 2 weeks straight, 3-4x a week for 2-3hr sessions on training boards and lead routes. While they don't particularly excel at one specific thing, they do surprise at every style of climb I've attempted. Edging performance on the steeps is amazing. The generic rubber on the heel cup is more than sufficient for locking in some heel hooks. I was a little skeptical at first when I first saw the material but for the clearance price how can you not try? The velcro closure is probably the most minor of flaws. Though the shoe is light in weight, the comically large straps make the shoes feel kinda clunky. Almost as though the bottom strap is too short and the top strap is too long. It could be attributed to my foot type and perhaps I could've gone for the low-volume women's version. But they are incredibly easy to put on and take off. I've noticed in other reviews that people have mentioned extreme levels of discomfort for prolonged periods of use. News Flash! You only wear climbing shoes when you're *climbing* in them. I've done long-ish sport routes in the gym with these for 6-10 minutes on a climb and have yet to feel the urge to rip them off as soon as I'm off belay. Granted, your mileage may vary. Another "knock" is how Scarpa sizes their last. In this particular sole they run comically large so you can brag about how many sizes down you went from your street shoe. I'm a 10.5US/9.5UK/44EU. Wound up leaving the store with 41EU and I prefer a snug fit.

Rough break in period but after your skin on your toe comes back it’s a great shoe. Straps are long though.

Decent beginner shoe
1 year ago
Decent shoe for beginners. Most of the reviews seem to be from sizing issues - which I agree these shoes are oddly sized. I'm a U.S. size 10.5 and usually size down 1-1.5 sizes when fitting climbing shoes. I'm not sure if it's a manufacturing defect (or just this particular model) but I couldn't even get my feet into a size 10.5...I actually had to size UP to a 45.5 (U.S. 11.5). They were still pretty tight, but stretched out a little after a couple of uses. No way are they painful and I'm not desperately needing to take them off the second I'm off belay. I had to cut the straps a bit to better fit the velcro, but other than that and the sizing issue the shoes have been great. Definitely ignore Scarpa's recommendation to size down.

Pretty good shoe
3 years ago
Took a while to break in and was painful doing so, but now very comfy and a good shoe. I like that it's stiff enough to edge well but soft enough to stand on large volumes, as I mostly boulder in the gym. One thing is heel hooking hurts a little bit because the rubber is pretty soft on the heel compared by my old force v's, but still gets the job done and it's worth it for the more aggressive shape.

Pretty Decent
1 year ago
These are my second pair of climbing shoes coming from the neutral Tarantulace. I would say they were a solid upgrade and step towards a more aggressive climbing shoe. I am climbing v5 and 5.11 in them. I climb 3-4 days a week. I have had them for 5 months. These shoes took about 3 sessions to break in. They were pretty painful but got very comfortable once broken in. I do have some concerns about durability. There are holes worn into the toes of each shoe. The rubber is slowly separating on the top of the shoes. They also hold smells unless taken very good care of.

Great shoes once you fit them right!
1 year ago
Great shoes for beginners, super comffortable after breaking them in and getting to know how to fit and wear them propperly. At first I just tried getting my foot in and closing them up and that resulted in a really uncomfortable shoe to the point of almost returning it. Then at home I tried forming foot to the shape of the shoe to meet it's slight downturn and then tightening them up. Night and day difference. Super comfy and no pressure points. Only caveat is that rubber is not that sticky but can take a lot of beating so...

Great shoe that survived a beginner/poor technique
1 year ago
These were my first shoes after the Tarantulace, and contrary to to some other reviews I am sad to see these are discontinued! I did have minor great toe irritation from the toe box during the initial break-in period but this subsided after a few climbing sessions. As a beginner experimenting with a more advanced shoe, I believe these stood up to the test quite well. Learning technique, experimenting with climbing styles, and effectively doing everything to these shoes that you *shouldn't* do, they stood the test with resilience. After nearly 9 months of climbing 3-4x weekly, the toe rubber has worn through to the rand and there is some very minor separation of the velcro on the straps. Couldn't be more pleased with how these shoes have served me and I look forward to what is to come from Scarpa

Bad fit for wide feet
2 years ago
I have pretty wide feet not extreme or anything and they are pretty awful to be in for anymore than 7-10 minutes at a time. Could only go down half a size from my street shoe without feeling like the my heel was going to slip out the toe box is actually very narrow. If you think you have too wide of feet for them you probably do. They are however fairly aggressive and are great for super tiny foot holds, and are super breathable so my foot doesn’t get sweaty at least not to the point where it is hindering my climbing.

Great shoe with one serious flaw
1 year ago
This is a great shoe for gym climbing in most scenarios; the fit is good and they reasonably sturdy but there is one extremely poorly designed interior baseball-style stitch which runs directly over the boniest part of my toe, causing severe pain after a pretty short climbing session. I have been using them for about 8 months, and still have to wrap both of my big toes with tape; they have never become comfortable.
