"Fits like a sock. A tight, uncomfortable sock. "
Clarkmcmaster
"My go-to all around outdoor shoe! One of the most comfortable (for a downturned shoe) and best performing shoes I've tried — no matter what other shoes I get I’ll always have a pair of these! They work well for a variety of angles and rock types. This size is just right for me - a little uncomfortable to start but breaks in quickly. Have owned a 36 and a 37 as well. 37 is definitely too big - heel feels baggy after break in. 36 works for an extra aggressive fit but is fairly uncomfortable. Expect these to stretch a fair amount.
(Street shoe size US womens 8 with narrow foot.)"

"My favorite shoe so far"

"Should have gone down half a size. Stretched a lot, but worked great for a while. Upper fabric is wearing out now. If they lasted longer i’d have replaced them. "

"Pretty tight for first day now super comfy. Skwama's fit my feet super well so i use these for almost anything. Nice at smearing, good edges, good rubber. Had these resoled ~3x and still love em."

"VERY soft. No-dead-space fit. I could maybe fit into 41.5's, but I don't think I would gain anything.
These are the same size as my Solutions but fit with zero pain. Zero!
So far I don't like them *quite* as much as my Testarossas, which have the stiff forefoot that I prefer, but the comfort of the Skwama is truly amazing."

"Way better than the Solution, in my opinion. My go-to shoe for climbing. The heel is slimmed down and fits better on my foot, as well as the toebox not having any deadspace for me. It is really hard to beat for the price!"
ClimberCam
"Much different last than python or solution that doesn't crush my pinky toe. Sole under big toe curves in, similar to "love bump" on evolv. Heel is quite snug and sensitive enough while not deforming much, best heel hooking shoe I have found.
Sole is thicker than python and less sensitive. Much more supportive and can actually edge fairly well, good mid road of edging and smearing."
NickDrake
"super comfortable and flexible. rubber on top of the toe box is very thin and starting to wear out after a couple months of use."
Megachair
"Couple week break in. Rear part of shoe dug into achilles tendon during break in, no pain anymore."
Jefferson
"Aggressive but comfortable for lots of problems/routes without taking them off. Could be half size (euro) smaller but they aren't sloppy as they are. "
adamj1388
"comfortable before and during break in"
wpjohnso
"Super tight, super aggressive, surprisingly comfortable"
cole
"Fairly comfortable to slip on despite how tight it is. Went down a full 1.5 size from my Solutions. It became pretty comfortable after a session or two."
