Praise vs. Criticism

Grippy and comfortable

Fits like a glove. It does run WAY smaller then my LaSportiva. As a comparison, my Solution is 3.5UK, this one I am wearing 5UK (on purpose as I am recovering from an injury, I wanted a bit bigger, still, the 4 could not even fit in).
It is impressively comfortable. I had an anazasi pro and hated, as it hurtme until its end of life... and after resoling it o_O
Super good grip, non aggressive, good toe and hook. I got it to be my confi multi and bouldering shoes

Advantages
High edge stability
Good grip
Good fit

Wrong sizing!

I've order these climbing shoes in size EU 39 1/3, as my other climbing shoes (La Sportiva) are in sizing EU 39. And my normal shoe size is EU 40.
I have order this pair as I remember that 5.10 Anasazi used to be n. 1 climbing shoes in the US few years back.

But the shoes are at least 2 sizes smaller than they are claiming them to be! The sizing chart is absolutely off. The Eu 39 1/3 are in real life probably EU 37. I could not fit my feet in them at all. The shoes are also very narrow fit, so keep this in mind.

I am very unsatisfied as I had to return them and to pay the shipping fee due to misleading information of the manufacturer.

So please be cautious and try these climbing shoes in store only because otherwise they will not fit you.

Question from Mina
10.06.2022
Did you check the sizing at all?

I ordered UK 5.5 - they are not EU 38,5 (23,8 cm) - the length is much smaller. I ordered then UK 6.5, the length is not 24,6cm as stated but less than 24cm. My street shoe size is 39 and all of the other brands have transparent sizing charts, this one doesn't. The sizes look like Chinese and are definitely not EU, US or UK.
So now I have to return the item due to the wrong sizing chart any pay the shipping.

Hi Anisha, generally 0.5-1 size down works well for these :-) Exchanging is no problem if necessary.
