I LOVE these shoes. I'm a 39 EU (8.5 US) in women's in street size. I'm probably between 39 and 40 in reality. I bought these in a 40 EU (9 US W) and my toes are comfy, the heel is TIGHT AND AMAZING. The only shoe out there with a properly tight toe except for the Scarpa Arpia V, a beginner shoe. Don't waste your time looking elsewhere if you have small heels. In other shoes my size, my pinky toe and knuckle of my big toe is screaming and the heel on the shoe is terribly baggy and collapses on heel hooks and looks so discouraging—and heel hooks are my favorite. I've tried on every climbing shoe brand in store except tenaya and unparallel just because the stores didn't carry them.

Such a strange shoe. Both stiff and soft at the same time. Can feel holds too much mid forefoot but not at all at the toes. Additionally all toes are downturned except the big toe, which is where the power is. Overall shoe feels like it’s just too many compromises to be great.

The shoes themselves exceed expectations, great rubber, great sensitivity, overall good quality. The sizing is great, I personally got shoes half a size down from my street shoes, and they fit perfectly after breaking in. Shipping was good as well, came on the day it estimated. Will absolutely be back again to buy
