Well, when I first saw the shoe, I thought it was a girl's shoe because of the "polka-dots" pattern on the straps, but luckily the guy at the shop commented that his son had a pair, so I went on a whim and bought them. I have to say, I'm very lucky, these shoes are actually pretty awesome. I've been climbing for a while, had a few pairs of shoes but never had a SCARPA brand. These shoes perform very well both indoors and out and I'm highly satisfied with their performance and comfort. Their price is not cheap, but then again who wants a cheap shoe? Its price runs in line with other competitive brands and you get every penny's worth. If you're feeling this shoe, go for it!

This was a decent all around shoe, but i simply bought it 2 sizes to small making it extremely painful to wear. The price of the shoe for what it offers is really what makes this a good shoe.

These shoes are great for bouldering or doing sport routes in a gym. The shoes are fairly comfortable, and I would definitely agree with the other comments about buying small to account for the shoes tendency to stretch out abit over time. The rubber on the soles of the shoes is very tight and grippy, and they are very good for edging and smearing while bouldering. The shoes hold up pretty well and if you can get them on sale they are a pretty good deal. The one place where these shoes are somewhat lacking is in trad climbing. The fasteners on the sides can dig into your feet when they are along the edge of the crack, and so crack climbing in these, or other velcro shoes, can be very painful. Aside from that, these shoes are good choice for someone who does a lot of gym bouldering/ sport routes.

 

For indoor and easy long routes

A very good shoes from Scarpa. The comfort is very impressive but it is true that the shoes are stretching a lot so choose them a little bit smaller as usual. The only negative aspect is the precision of the tip of the shoes which makes certain moves very hard to realize. The big width is certainly the cause of it, but it so comfortable that we forgot it very quickly!

 

Best indoor shoe!

I bought these shoes from my local climbing gym, changing from a pair of scarpa boosters. Thus far im so much happier with these shoes. I do a ton of indoor bouldering and comfort, durability and value come into play quite often and these shoes DO NOT disappoint. The only draw back on the shoes that i have found is they tend to stretch very quickly so size down right away. I wear a 7.5 in these shoes and either an 8.5 or 9 in any other shoe that i wear. I highly recommend these shoes for anyone who loves to boulder!
