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.

Great starter shoe - Stretches out quickly.
3 years ago
These shoes were very comfortable and felt like good quality. I am still using them, the only drawback as I did not listen originally. Since most of the shoe is leather, it is definitely better to get a size smaller then you're street shoe size. They will stretch out a full size with regular use.

Not great
1 year ago
Did not last very long (less than 2 months) before the sole started splitting from the upper and holes started forming in the front. Strictly used in the gym 2-4x a week. Would not recommend.
No, I do not recommend this product

Great intro shoe, but not durable
2 years ago
As a new climber these were very comfy to climb in. However the sole began splitting form the rest of the shoe after 3 months of wear. Performance wise, I felt very confident with grip when climbing, however smaller and thin foot holds were almost impossible and heel hooks were somewhat uncomfortable.
