Use: class 5 climbing
Break-in Period: 3-6 months

I climbed in these shoes all last summer. I originally bought these as a second pair for more difficult climbing, but they work so well I use them on all class 5 climbing, despite how tight they fit. This is an excellent pro shoe. It hugs from heal to toe giving great feel for the rock. I have been able to toe and use my feet like never before. A must have for high class climbing!!!:) Important to give a half size stretch room, It took about 3-6 months of climbing with really tight shoes but they have stretched a bit.
