I really love the lacing system in this shoe. 2 complaints; The sole rubber has separated from the shoe in the toe area after 3 months. Also, these babies kill my arches! 6 months of wear and no change. I've read other reviews that say the same. Other than that, I am a fan of the heel strap big time. Others should use it!

I love this shoe. The first time wearing it my feet hurt like hell after a few hours. But the next time thye didnt hurt at all. These are my first pair of climbing shoes but i feel so comfortable in them. They are narrow so it does take a little getting used to but after a few days of climbing it doesnt bother you at all. I highly recomend these shoes to anyone.

Shoes are a hard thing to rate. They are very foot specific. I have been looking for a shoe that fits since they stopped making the Asolo Runout (the green not the red) I have been climbing since 1975 and have had many shoes. I have tried many different brands and the Techno fits right out of the box. It fit all of my foot. Sportiva's Do not fit my insole, 5.10's do not fit the toes. Mad Rock's just hurt and Evolves squeeze the wrong places on my foot. The Techno toes into cracks and face climbs well. It seems to be a good shoe for most climbing. I wear a 43 street and 42 in this shoe. when I buy another pair, I will size another 1/2 size smaller. The key is to try on a number of shoes until you find one that has the basic fit and then size down for comfort(or pain) for your needs.

I've been climbing in Scarpa shoes for about 10 years and I will say that it's the only brand I trust. I've been climbing in my Technos for about 3 weeks now (4-5 times a week) and they are the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn climbing. With that said though, the rubber seems to be different from my Scarpa Stix shoe which I think has better grip.

Not unlike everyone else, I will agree that these are probably one of the most versatile shoes on the market and I can wear them all day without any problems.

I'd rate these a solid 4.5 stars only due to my opinion about the rubber.

Not to knock the shoe -this was on the top of my list as far as function and feel. Unfortunately I couldn't get it to fit my foot properly. - I have big feet, they're wide but not WIDE and I heard Scarpa's were pretty decent my size feet. I could get them on, but they rubbed badly where the tongue attached over the toes.

As far as construction and quality - most excellent. I would have loved to walk away with them.
