Reviews overview
Praise vs. Criticism
tight fit
The speedsters are great - no edge technology sticks some of the tiniest footholds and the slip on construction means they are very easy to put on and take off.
But the fit is very tight and if you have wide feet - consider 0.5 - 1 size up form your normal climbing shoes size, unless you want to endure the painful sensation...
- Advantages
- Robust
- Versatile
- Good grip
- Recommended use
- Indoor climbing
- Big wall
- Sport climbing

I have always gone for solutions and was very happy with its performance.
The, I bought second hand speedsters for training only and save the solutions for outdoors but fell in love and never wore solutions again...
I´ve been wearing the speedsters for the past 5 years or so, going through different rock types and styles, mainly bouldering. Also, climbing tons indoors and I don´t see any chance of going for another pair of shoes!
The best aspects are the toe box and the fact that, being soft, you don´t need to break the shoes in. I get 3 sizes or 3.5 sizes down and still can wear right from the box without much trouble!
As people say, when in love you don´t see negative points... still can´t find down side!! =)
Best shoes all around!
