any feedback on the La Sportiva Ventor shoes? I usually wear size 7 5.10 moccasyms and anasazis for sport and bouldering and the moccasyms for crack climbing only because I don't have a "crack" shoe. I want a multi pitch shoe for mixed face climbing and stuffing cracks. My foot is average sized-not too narrow or wide with normal arch. I understand the toe box is wide on the shoe, but too wide? How is it stuffing cracks?--thanks

It's a stiff shoe with a wide toe box. (Good for us people with wide feet!)

It's very comfortable for all day activities (I sometimes route-set in mine) but I wouldn't put them in the high-performance category. Smearing is not it's strong suit.

I purchased my normal shoe size and I probably should have sized them down a half-size at least.
