Review: The toes were a little tight to start but, the wet,wear tight and walk treatment worked wonders. The fit and finish on these shoes is very nice and I look forward to beating the heck out of them hiking in the Rockies
Review: A little small for me, but a size up fixed the problem. I know some people are saying that “these shoes are supposed to fit like that,” but with a Vibram sole, I think they should fit more like a shoe than climbing shoes.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by J***A on 20 February 2021*

This shoe has been around in different colors for almost 15 years. It is designed for a very specific purpose: approach. Send the shoe succeeds as an approach shoe! Comfortable, sticky, durable as hell! It's a little on the heavy side, and I would not want to climb anything over 5.7a in it for too long. Everything in life is about trade-offs. The weight adds durability. Because it comes in European sizes, I can actually get a perfect fit for my weird feet (EU has much smaller increments in size, hence more precise sizing).
