The only shoes I buy

"After trying many other brands of climbing shoes, I’ve landed on these as my favorite. The leather is sticky and stays sticky for the life of the shoe. Also the heel box is smaller than other brands so I can do heel hooks without worrying about my shoe slipping off. They’re very precise and I can do everything from slab to caves! Plus, when they’re broken in, I can climb 100ft+ climbs (even did some multi-pitch in Red Rock Canyon with these) comfortably while my friends complain about their toes. Best shoe ever!"

Love them!

"I bought these shoes after three years of climbing with beginner shoes. I’m breaking into more advanced grades, and I need a more aggressive shoe to get a little extra edge. These are perfect. They’ve got a super sticky & grippy toe and heal that my other shoes lacked. My feet are not slipping off holds any more. They’re breaking in better than I thought too."

IN LOVE

"I was looking for shoes that I could wear for longer climbing sessions, and these are perfect!! It’s a super soft shoe, and the rubber is incredibly sticky. Heels & toes are great in them!! I found the sizing to be true to what my street size is. However now that I’ve climbed in them for a few sessions, I would maybe suggest sizing down half a size if you want them to still be tighter after breaking in."

Katy P. (5/5)

The perfect climbing shoe!

"These shoes fit my foot the best! I’m really impressed by how sticky the rubber is! They suction to my heel and the point is so good on the toe!"

First pair of shoes that actually fits properly

"I’ve had my wife try on 13 different pairs of climbing shoes to find one that properly fits her foot. I got this for her as a Christmas gift, full expecting to be needing to return them, and to my surprise they actually fit perfectly. The rubber is super sticky and has helped her get a lot more confidence in her foot placement. Can’t recommend them enough!"

Luke S. (5/5)

Super excited about these

"Like most other people have said, I recommend going up a half size from street size unless you can deal with really tight. I wear a women’s 9 and got the 9. 5 and they’re a little small, but an appropriate amount so even if they expand they’ll still be the right size. Moderately aggressive, feel durable, and give me a lot more precision than the Momentums. The upper part where you insert your foot is stretchy material and has one strap so I am wondering how they’ll stretch in width over time, super comfortable to slide on though. I can’t wait to use these outside to see how they hold up, they’re fantastic in the gym!"

Great Shoe

"These ran small for me. Per my experience consider . 5 to 1 size larger than what you normally would wear. I cannot speak to the longevity of them yet, but the first few days of climbing they have lived up to their expectations. They also look cool too with a slight purple tint."

Casey D. (5/5)

Favourite new shoe

"Very good out of the box should be a small and quick break in period, very tight feeling but still comfortable, really great feeling heel"

Riley H. (5/5)

Out of the box comfort and performance

"These are my first pair of BD shoes so I deliberated over size for awhile. I settled on half a euro size below my BD street shoe and they fit perfect. This translates for me to 1. 5 euro sizes above most Sportiva shoes for me. I LOVE the comfort of these shoes. They are so nice to put on and keep on. The rubber is quite sticky for both gym and outdoor. They perform well and feel great. The one thing that I'm unsure of is their durability. They don't feel as solid as other shoes, but that may just be because they aren't leather, which is mostly what I've been climbing in the last 10 years. Their first trip outside the rubber on one shoe started to pull away from the rand ever so slightly. This isn't normally an issue with other shoes of mine. It hasn't gotten worse in a couple more sessions and I'll probably just shoe goo it and be done with it. I will probably buy a couple more pairs of these. If the durability is indeed an issue, I may just use them as a mostly indoor shoe and be happy with that. Right now though, bouldering season is in full swing and I've been keeping these in my pack as my primary shoe for my projects."

awesome fit

"softer shoe which i thoroughly enjoy would probably blow out pretty fast if you don’t have the best footwork but overall fits like a glove and is one of my favorite shoes on the market"
