"i've had my Locos for about a month and I love them. I did not however think that when I first bought them. My other rock shoes were a 7 US, and I found that even a 9 in the Locos were really tight. After about two or three weeks of climbing in a gym and outside they started to loosen, but not much."

"These shoes climb steep limestone like a spider, but will destroy your feet. After trying on several sizes at a shoe demo, I found my street size worked best. I am able to stand on the smallest of bumps as long as I can put up with the pain. For those pushing the grades, I recommend Locos."
