Good shoe. Perfect for wide feet.

Durable, versatile.
I'd recommend you to size down from the street shoe as they stretch like crazy.

The best I've found for wide feet

Not too many manufacturers offer wide-feet shoes, but Scarpa has done great job imo.
I would recommend going 1-1.5 sizes lower than your street shoe (eu) as they stretch.
My normal size is 42.5 and I got size 42 - I can last 2hrs session without removing them, so at least 1 size less should be taken. Overall great, already got second pair of em.

Postive

Wore for roughly 18 months - bit of a break in period but excellent once broken in. Wide toe box and great for heel hooks/edging. Had to get new pair when I wore identical holes in the sole by the big toe. Beginner/intermediate climber so great to see it holding up very well with some shoddy footwork! Have bought a 2nd pair as if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

I absolutely love these shoes!

I've been using these shoes for a few weeks, on indoor bouldering routes and sport routes.

What impresses me is that the design is a little aggressive and feels super-solid on more overhanging routes, but also feels great on slab. What helps is that the rubber seems to stick to anything really well.

For me, if these shoes last a decent amount of time I would definitely buy them again, but since I haven't worn out a pair yet I don't have any idea how long they'll hold up.

Very tight

I hope it gets a bit loose soon it’s very tight. My toes hurt.

Bought size 45.

I’m a size uk 9.5 but have wide feet.

Might need to stretch it a few times to make it more comfy.
