"
Sized them the same as my TC Pros but never stretched enough even after a few months. As long as I only wear them on routes, they are wearable with a super aggressive fit. They perform really well."

Sized tight. No air pockets.
(Size 35 was too tight. Could see knuckle outline. Size 36 fit but had air pockets.)
Surprisingly comfortable for a performance shoe. Slight/not super aggressive downturn. Could stand in them mostly normally but were not as comfortable as the Lady's Mythos."

Love these shoes. The S-heel is supportive without being too restrictive. The lacing system is so easy to use even when pulling the shoes on and off for bouldering. It also keeps them both firm and comfortable. My favourite climbing shoes."

"
Aggressive fit but comfortable enough for sport climbing after break-in"

My current outdoor shoe, as it is stiff enough for me to edge on the smallest crystals outdoors! Amazing fit with the laces and the s-heel is just sensitive enough for me to trust heels in them! Magnificent shoe for edging!"

Love love it! Perfect for tiny footholds. The shoes did stretch out at least half a size at the end. Got a second pair of 36 for a tighter fit. "

This is my second pair. I downsized 0.5 size for a tighter fit for boulder problems, but it's still not nearly as aggressive as instinct vs. The toes are very precise and can make you stand on the tiniest foot chip outside. Bring them back La Sportiva! "

"
Great shoe, love it. Feels a bit more aggressive than my women's Otakis in 41. Also feels a tad heavier. I prefer these for sport and the Otakis for sport/thin cracks. I think they're slightly less sensitive than the otakis I have. "

Nice fit for sport and trad. Can keep them on for a couple pitches at a time. Stretched out maybe a quarter size after wearing a few times. "

"
Slightly better fit than Katanas. Half size smaller would be on the aggressive size"

"
Slightly more relaxed fit compared to the Otaki"

"
Great for hard sport. Toes bent but not painful, good heel fit, narrow and low volume toe box."

"
Similar front fit as katana laces but more sensitive, precise and flexible. Better heel but some tension on achilles after some routes."

"
Really great so far. I sized them normal / comfortable for all-day trad / sport climbing.
My toes are flat."

"
Tight, but tight is right.
Comfortable enough for single pitches, maybe 2 pitches. For performance edging on vertical to 30 degree overhanging, seems like it'd be great for edging and finger/thin cracks"

" Great for edging and crack, but a bit aggressive for multipitch. "
