Austin E. from United States, TN Public Profile

I've climbed in a lot of different shoes and these are my favorite so far. The description on here is dated and is for the old style. The new style is the blue one. For size reference I wear a 9.5 in these and I wear a 9 in Anasazi Arrowhead. 8.5 in Anasazi VCS. 9.5 in Shamans. And 9.5 in the Hornets which are discontinued. This shoe is the perfect mixture for me of soft/sensitive and supportive. Much softer than either anasazi, shamans, or any sportiva shoe I've climbed in, but not as extreme as the hornets. I like softer shoes as they allow me to toe in harder and feel the rock better. They are also a bit more comfortable. The shoes don't stretch hardly at all. The shoes fit a bit wider in the forefoot than the arrowheads, which is perfect for me since I have a sorta wide foot. I think they may be the shoe I stick with after trying out so many different pairs.
