"Super aggressive/performance fit, comfortable for a couple boulders then need to take them off. Very little stretch for a leather shoe. Toe hook patch is okay, not as sticky as the Skwama."

"No climbing yet, trying to break in. Update able to actually wear for a few climbs, super snug fit. feels like there is dead space in heel but once actually doing heel hooks it is locked in. Great toe edge and sensitivity. Amazing send shoe.
Update 2, shoes are still amazing definitely conformed to my foot and eliminated all dead space, exceptionally tight sizing. An absolutely amazing shoe to climb in and my favorite out of the whole La Sportiva line-up. The half-sole and differentiated sole thickness contributes to a shoe that is exceptionally soft while maintaining support for hard edging. Some of which can be attributed to the D-tech creating a soft yet supportive shape."

"Hurts to wear for awhile. Good heel fit, toe box is a little crunched"

"For an aggressively downturned shoe, it get's surprisingly comfortable due to the soft leather of the sole. For this reason I put the fit as normal."

"I wear street size 5, and went down half a size for these. Soft shoes and fits like a sock, didnt take much time to break in and feel much more comfortable than my other shoes."

"I can get my foot in half a size down, but my heel doesn't seat in the bottom of the shoe. I also feel like performance is not negatively effected by fitting this shoe right at the start of "aggressive" as opposed to extremely aggressive. The little extra flex helps with smearing angle and toe hooks, but hasn't limited my ability to power down on the front of the shoe when needed. They edge surprisingly well. The only complaints I have are the material hits my ankle bones until they break in (which is fast), and I have just the slightest dead space in the sides of the heel cup."

"Snug, fits like a sock, not painful like breaking in solutions"

"This is my all time favorite shoe. The toe and heel fit great and I was confident in them after just 30 minutes. I wear mine very tight and they fit like a glove but still have enough give to smear confidently. Definitely soft shoes and better for gym use."

"More relaxed fit for smeary type of problems."

"Great fit. Aggressive yet comfortable out of the box, didn’t need any break-in time (unlike Skwama). Heel is narrower than Skwama, comparable to Tenaya Mastia, which is great for me. Also toe box seems higher volume than Mastia as there’s no hot spot on my knuckles. Will update after wearing it for a bit more. "
