La Sportiva - Women's Solution - Climbing shoes tested

They are popular for a reason. Great all rounder for indoor. Great for outdoor bouldering and sport. They are not very comfortable and I can only wear mine for one route max without a break but they are worth it for the performance, especially on a roof.

I am a guy with very narrow "Egyptian" feet and the womens Solutions and skwama are the only ones that fit properly around the heel (prefer the aggressive shape of the solutions though). Once broken in they are fit like a sock. I size down 1.5 from street shoes for performance (would suggest 1 size if you intend to wear for more than 15 mins at a time).

After 6 months they still hold their shape well. Some people may dislike the heel which doesnt have sticky rubber but it does just seem to "stick" even on small edges. The heel also seems to have contributed to retaining its shape as the shoe hasn't flattened like most do.
