• Great for edging and smearing.
• The 3-Velcro system provides control on the adjustability.
• Does not stretch over time, loosening the fit.
• Provides sufficient traction on most surfaces.
• The downturn provides enough reach for the steeper ascents, but isn’t so uncomfortable that you can’t wear for a long period of time.
• Great choice for the next step up from a beginner shoe.
• A reliable and trustworthy option.

• Ample padding over the top of the arch for comfort.
• Toebox is wide enough to provide some comfort, but still be technical.

User Reviews

• The front of the shoe can make your toes sore after prolonged climbing.
• The shoe may be too loose-fitting for narrow feet.

Expert Reviews

• If you size the shoe so that it is roomy, it won’t be comfortable for crack-climbing or all-day climbing.
• Does not have the rubber patch on the toe box like many models do for bouldering.
• Not as sensitive or flexible as some shoes are for hooking or smearing.
• Shoe may be too tight for slab climbing.
• The tongue and Velcro straps did not lay completely flat.
