I love this chalk bag - great print on the outside, super soft fleece on the inside. It has a stiff rim, brush holder for bouldering and comes with a belt...nifty

I don't have these shoes yet but theyre in the mail. I read the reviews and everybody says to downsize a good deal beacuse these shoes stretch. I've heard people downsizing anywhere from 1/2 to 4 sizes for these shoes. To clear this confusion up, i got the lowdown on the sizing of these shoes from a lasportiva rep who said downsize 2-1/2 to 3 sizes from your street shoes. I hope this clears up the sizing issue for any prospective buyers! When i get my shoes in a couple days i'll add a more useful part to my review...

Here's the more useful part. I got my shoes in a week and a half ago or so and they've been awesome. The first two or three days wearing them were like hell for my toes, but it all paid off. These shoes are great for the bouldering I do; the edge well, hold onto pockets well, and pull well on overhangs. The fit is still tight and the shoe feels very precise. Some people have complained that the heel lets go, but this hasn't been the case for me. Mine have been pretty well broken in (I went bouldering every day for a week after i could walk in them to break them in), and the heel sticks to my feet very well. Hope this helps...
