A very comfortable shoe with good soles, stiff enough for edges and comfortable enough to wear all day. I own two pairs and find the sizing accurate so I was happy to buy online without trying the second new pair on.

24.02.2025Comfy shoes - poor glueing
These shoes are comfortable and good to climb in with decent edges. Good for long outdoor routes.
However the heels have come away and no glue I can find seems like it can bind the two rubbers together.
Having to replace this long before the rubber on the toes has gone which is a shame.

My foot is 30cm long exactly. The size guide suggests UK size 11 for that length, yet I tried UK size 13 and 14, knowing that's my real size, and they're both still far too small. The Alpine Trek size guide is so alarmingly inaccurate as to be useless. What size shoe fits a 30cm foot?
Hi Alexander, sizing climbing shoes can be tricky - especially if it's the first time. Have you had climbing shoes before? The way that they fit the foot can be a little counterintuitive because they don't feel the same as regular shoes (much tighter). Might be worth giving us a call about it so we can discuss the sizing on the phone.

Pros:
- Well adjustable;
- Very comfy;
Cons:
- Complete lack of quality;
- Smears poorly;
Shoes pretty much self-destructed from all sides after ~3 months of moderate use. My other pairs that I had lasted around a year at least with same/more use. Very poor quality shoe.
