19.01.2024Nice aggressive fit, great heel.
I can't stress enough how good the heel is on these. Head height heel hooks on marginal holds are 50% easier in these. Great grip, nice aggressive toe box fit, without being excessive (need a rest every half hour or so), toe rubber sits just nicely. Very little dead space in the shoe, but the velcro isn't very long, so if you have a shallower foot, you might have to strap it as tight as it goes.

These shoes a very thin and although people claim them to be good for bouldering, they really aren’t!
Unless you’re using big footholds, these will hurt your feet pretty quickly as it feels like you’re climbing in socks...
