"These were my first pair of climbing shoes. . . from the moment I opened the box, the crisp clean smell of new shoes hit my nose. . . originally I thought I purchased the shoes too small. I got them in my street size (10) and my toes were curled back, after further research I've learned this is ok with with climbing shoes."
