| these are sure aggressive shoes, It really helps your foot into a point! reminds me back in the day when i would wear ballet point shoes. It really does help all the strength go to your bog toe. They really suck to walk around on flat though! but they performed really well when i demoed them out bouldering. you can really use that big toe to smear on little tiny nothings. They are leather so they will stretch out around a full size. The heal cup is not too deep. Las Sportivas heal cups are always too deep for me. These have lower volume heal cup to fit a women's smaller heal. |

| These shoes are sweet! I can stand on pretty much anything...the only problem is my unruly toes get a bit angry if I wear these for more than 15 minutes, but they are stretching. Its also a little harder to walk around with then being so downturned.
But for actual CLIMBING, they rock. Pun intended. |

| I sized down perhaps too much, as they've stretched and are still very tight, but even on plastic walls (inside) I can stand on a dime edge and move to the next hold, where in any other shoe I'd smear and use momentum. Toe jamming is a dream, the tiniest of holds seem like jugs, and toe/heel hooking is very effective in the rockette. I would recommend them to any girl climbing that wants to push the limits of technical climbing to a whole new level. |

| I am still "breaking" my Rockette's in... they are super aggressive and I feel as though they have made me a more confident climber. They stick to anything (although I haven't tried them on slabs and probably wouldn't recommend them for slabs). I normally wear an 8 and originally bought these a full size smaller and couldn't even sit down with the shoe on my feet... so I went up to the 7 1/3 size and they are still painful, but I can wear them and hope after a few more outings they mold to my feet better. I'm going to try and soak them in hot water then slap em on my feet... |

| As it is said, yes, this is not a comfortable climbing shoes. I went to a local sports shop and tried other Scarpa climbing shoes before I put the order here. But I had a second thought and bought the shoes half size smaller than I was going to. How I regret that decision! I tried them 3 times at gym. It is a killer climbing shoes and it sticks on the wall very well, but my toes hurt! Anyway, my suggestion is to try it at your local sports shop to decide the size before you buy it online and do not have second thought! |

| Okay, so I normally wear size 38 climbing shoes, I got these in a 40 and they were still super tight - toes curled, the whole nine yards. But they edge on a dime and that's worth a lot! I haven't had them long, maybe I've done 10 pitches in them and they are already feeling more comfortable. I"m told you can soak the shoe in super hot water and then slap em on your feet and they will stretch out faster, so I might still try that. But so far, I feel much more confident on tiny edges. |

| I stretched the shoes before my second use by sticking hammer handles in them; I did not stretch them before the third use, and the pain was back. In retrospect I would size down a half size AT MOST. |

| I wanted a performance climbing shoe, and a friend convinced me to go for the Scarpas. After consulting with him, I sized down - I wear a size 8 and I bought the 7 1/3 (based on the euro/American size chart). When I first tried them on I was afraid I had made a terrible mistake. I could hardly walk in them. The first time I climbed in them I complained. A lot. Yet at the same time I cruised a 5.12. I decided they were keepers - they really did perform well for me. The second time I wore them climbing the pain factor was much less, so they really do break in. They are beautifully made, really quality shoes and I'm so glad I got them. They do crunch your toes, though! |

| These shoes are absolutely amazing. I've had difficulty finding shoes that fit well in these past, and these are just perfect. I wear a size 6 to 6 1/2 street shoe and ordered these in a 35.5. They were extremely tight but have started to mold to my feet. The ankle/heel doesn't sit too high and the arch fits perfectly. They haven't been on real rock yet, but in the gym, my heel hooks and edging have been phenomenal! These are wonderful shoes!!!! |

| Great toes, poor heels 09-02-08 |

| I have low-volume instep, narrow heels, low-ankles, wide forefoot, stubbier toes; both feet are about the same. These fit me perfect from arch to toes, but bad at the heels. The heel rand is made for those with a higher outside ankle bone; for me, the rand squeezes under my ankle bone, and becomes unbearably painful if I rotate my foot inwards (ie. toes pointing in). Also, my heel doesn't even touch the end of the heel cup. Since I like the rest of the shoes much, I plan to cut off the upper part of the heel rand, like what I did with my other pair of shoes (Red Chili Spirit VCR Impact Zone). That should make the heels less painful, without degrading the performance much.
Overall: I particularly like the downward design, and the toe rubber patch. Though haven't field-tested these yet, I expect to be able to toe-hook and point much better than the Red Chili. Though the Chili has served me well up to V3's, they're not aggressive enough to help me send steeper and harder problems. I'll see how these go. |
