User Reviews
The shoes fit tight at first but they have stretched out. Super easy to put on. Feels like putting on a flipper. Great for gym climbing
I go down a full size from my street shoe and usually find them tight to put on only the first time, then they stretch in a lot. Once they're broken in they're like socks, super comfortable and sensitive. Good for all day as an all-around shoe in the gym or for smears on rock.
