Amazing Slippers

These are quite possibly one of the best slippers on the market right now. They feel good on any terrain outside of the steepest of overhangs. Even did my first multipitch in these! Fresh out of the box, they are decently stiff and supportive with a surprising amount of sensitivity. I have wide and tall feet and got these in my street shoe size. Break in period was quick but pretty rough. After a few months of wear they have softened up significantly so edging isn't that great anymore but they are oh so sensitive. Heel is tight and secure from day 1. You can heel hook with confidence in these shoes and not worry about slippage.

Super chaussons, confort et sensations au top

Commandés en taille 11 US selon les recommandations du site Soill (ma taille ville est 10 1/2 US). C’est parfait, à voir à l’usure si ça se détend, mais je pense que ça restera très bien pour moi. Les chaussons sont effectivement bien agréables à porter, précis est sensibles en restant particulièrement confortables . Je suis enchanté au premier essai.
Ça me donne envie de tester d’autres modeles développés par Fred.´ pour Soill.
Je me réjouis que ces chaussons soient disponibles en Suisse car les frais de port et de dédouanement sont chers depuis les States.

Old dog/New kicks

This year marks my 50th year rock climbing, age 72 and still climbing. Started when you had one choice of rock shoe, EB’s. Now you have more choices than Carter has liver pills. I’ve climbed everything from big walls to tiny boulders and worn 100’s of pairs of shoes. I can’t say enough about how much I like this shoe. By the end of my first gym session the shoes felt like they fit like a glove. While I don’t climb much harder than V5 or 5.12 these days, these shoes performed admirably. I plan on taking them out to Jtree next weekend for a workout on Right On and I’m stoked to be wearing these shoes! I have contemplated buying a second pair now so I know I’ll have them when these wear out. These shoes prove you can get an old dog to wear new kicks. So all you Gen Z’s and Alpha’s should take some advice from this old man and give these a try.

Best Shoes!!!!

I have relatively wide feet with average volume, and I purchased a pair of climbing shoes in the same size as my street shoes (feet length 24.5mm, Catch length 24.7mm). Initially, I found that this pair was on the narrow side for climbing shoes and quite difficult to slip into. However, after using them for two sessions, they became snug around my feet, providing excellent coverage and ease of slipping in. I'm happy with how they've broken in.

On the performance side, these shoes are soft enough for flexibility, enabling adaptation to angles. They also offer sufficient support for sticking to smaller edges and provide the sensitivity required to gauge the security of foot placements. Overall, I'm impressed with their performance!

Most importantly, these climbing shoes are not only functional but also quite stylish! I can't resist good-looking shoes!!!!

Awesome work!

They said the street size would do but they were way too small I’m trying to exchange them
