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.

Comfy, Sticky, Simply the Best
7 months ago
This is an exceptional shoe. I could not wear the original Solutions due to their stiffness. This shoe is perfectly soft. Outside of crack climbing there isn't much it can't do. I have trained in them for approximately 1.5 years, 3-4 days a week and am now looking to replace them with new comps. The shoe I used before was a Skwama which I loved as well, but without a doubt, the Comps allow me to climb harder. Only complaint, if I had one, would be after 1.5 years, the shoe box has widened and my feet slide inside the shoe ever so slightly. Other than that, comfy, sticky, the best.

Still one of the greatest bouldering shoes out
2 months ago
It is one of the best climbing shoes available, especially for indoor bouldering climbers. This shoe has extreme edge control and pull control. It is also more comfortable than the regular La Sportiva Solution shoes. It is not the most comfortable shoe overall due to the toe and foot angle aggressiveness. Not for extended use on the mountains imho, get the katana or a less aggressive shoe with more smearing ability. Pros: Edging Quick release velcro lacing system Heel lock Heel rubber grip and control Toe hang control Rubber stickiness Cons: Poor smear (easy abrasion of the rubber soles mixed with the pointed and raised toe-areas result in awkward foot positions for smearing use of this shoe) Comfort in the toe area is lacking (bruised toes and small toe box, but the compressed position allows for complete weight transfer to the toe) Poor crack climbing control (toe aggressive design makes it harder to engage feet into cracks) Durability is poor due to extremely soft rubber used (it will abrade on the wall if you are a bad climber, do not use these shoes if ur still learning. You will burn through these in a couple of months of use if you slip a lot.) Stretches out in the toe box over time (6 - 9 months of use (2 - 3 times a week, 2 hours each)) The heel lock and quick removal velcro system make these my go-to shoe for indoor bouldering. The shoe is great when worn for short intervals, but extended wear results in toe bruising, toe pain, and cramps in the arch area due to the aggressive stance of these shoes. They will get better with use, I recommend breaking them in in the mid-foot area by flexing them repeatedly so that putting them on and off becomes easier. They do stretch out in the toe box after about 6 or so months of heavy use, but this is to be expected of a rubber and leather shoe. These shoes are optimized for professional bouldering and steep wall climbs, they are not good at other things. Look elsewhere if you are looking for a more well-rounded, multi-use shoe.
