Review 5 out of 5 stars

Review by: granite_grrl, 2005-01-07


Love these shoes, and would consider them my best "all-around" shoes I own. They fit me great, they edge really well, and smear okay, and burley enough for jamming. Good rubber too, plenty sticky.

The sole is a bit stiff, will be a change if you're really used to sensative shoes, but I find they're great for trad climbing.

I would like to get another pair of these in a larger size so I can wear them on multipitch. Having them as tight as I do I find that the pointy toe will really cram my big toe if I wear them for a long time or if it's really hot outside with my shoes in the sun.

Great Shoe. Second pair I owned, and I don't regret it a bit. I sized it down a half size from my street shoes. When I first I bought 'em I soaked them and climbed for a few hours so they comformed to my foot a lot better. Not a lot of stretch, but a good way to conform the all leather construction to your foot shape. The outside edge of the toe box is a very weak spot because it's so asymetric, but the inside of it is more important anyway. I'll keep this one on my list of good edging shoes.

I love these shoes more each time I climb in them. Got em on closeout for $50. Best $50 I ever spent. I have narrow feet so most shoes are out and these are great. Easy to get on and off for lace-ups (esp. compared to Mythos!)

Great shoe. I have been climbing in slippers for some time, and needed a shoe with better edging as I push into harder grades. I borrowed this pair from my friend and cruised a 5.11b with confidence. The edging was awesome. You get a lot less feel than with a slipper, but the compromise allowed me to stand on damn near anything. The lacing system is great too, as each time you tighten a section the laces stayed in place and did not pull back through. You are going to have a tough time beating this one for the price if you desire a great edging/finger crack shoe.

The Scarpa Reflex is a great edging shoe. These were my first pair of shoes (besides gym-rented spires), and are still my favorite. The rubber is plenty sticky, and feels just as secure as the 5.10 I was forced to resole them with. The pointed toe is great for frontpointing and edging. They fit my feet quite well; I think I bought them a half-size below street, but the markings are gone and I don't remember. However, I would not recommend them for big walls or anywhere that you can't take them off periodically. YMMV. Overall, a really good shoe and my current favorite (of those I own) for performance climbing. I just had them resoled again, and I can't wait to take them out.
