Love and hate these shoes

Really technical (for me anyway), but took so long to break. I went the same street shoe size (still not quite comfortable( after going smaller at first.

Perfect sport climbing shoe

The fit is amazing if like me your 2nd toe is slightly bigger and I have a relatively low volume heel.
Feels stiff enough to be on 40m of limestone edges but also can smear ok and great for both heel/toe hooks. All round great shoe.

Precise shoe, but bad smearing

I wanted to replace my 5.10 quantum with an another stiff pointy shoe.
This Scarpa did the job to some extent, it is very useful on small and concrete footsteps . However sinc it is stiff it is not really good for polished, bigger footholds and on anything that doesn't have a good contour.
What I felt sometimes is that the sole bends only in the midsole, which makes the frontal part turning down from footholds, the bend is not distributed on the whole sole.
Unfortunately not an allrounder shoe, but it does very well, on small holes, pebbles, and crimps.

Love them

I already have bought my 3rd pair. And l resole them for three times. Super for edgy limestone sport climbing. Suitable for high volume feet, heel is a bit too wide.

Performant

Performant shoes with good grip and precision, but uncomfortable for longer climbs.
