I had only been climbing about a month when I bought these. Since, I have worn them about 3x week (about 3 hours each session) in the bouldering gym for 4 months. They have held up well. My feet were too narrow for the Scarpa Origin which I also tried on. The full lace-up of the Scrapa Helix allows for the adjustability for narrow feet. I typically wear a size 42 in hiking boots/xc-ski boots and bought a 41.5 for this climbing shoe. I wish I down sized more because although they were tight the first couple sessions, they have since stretched out. At the time of purchase I could not have imagined getting smaller shoes and actually was concerned they were too small, I even considered exchanging them. Now, I just lace them tighter as needed so it is okay they stretched ... MoreI had only been climbing about a month when I bought these.

I finally shredded the sole on my purple and grey Scarpa Helix's that were 3+ years old after heavy use on local sport and trad crags. I love the Helix shoe so much I will be getting the old ones re-soled, but bought the new orange model on sale to see if there were any changes. The shoe has stayed true in comfort and shape with a few upgrades that make it even better.The comfort level of these shoes has no competition when you're spending a day on the rock. The fit is snug but my toes only feel slightly cramped after an hour or two of constant wear. Scarpa is great for those with narrow heels; no slippage or stretch occurs at the heel cup. Despite a full leather shoe, there is little to no break in and they do not stretch much. Buy them true to size.

The lacing system allows for adjusting as needed.I did notice the toe on the new shoe is slightly more pointed to allow for better contact on smeary foot-holds. The previous model was a pretty rounded toe with less stick on tougher climbs. I also love the oversized heel loops that help pull them on and a wider, more comfortable tongue. The stitching on the new model seems more reinforced throughout and the rubber now has a denser platform on the ball of the foot and heel. This makes them a little stiffer but more supportive and dependable overall.Highly recommended essential shoe for roped climbs, but not agressive enough for bouldering or highly technical climbs.

My perspective on "lace shoes" for rock climbing included words like "troublesome/ difficult" to put on. But once I tried these on (no socks), I knew I had to get them because it fit like a glove and my feet were wrapped tightly but also felt very secure in place.The hardest part was to choose the right size (should I go with my street size or 0.5 size up to feel even more comfortable). However, I'm glad that I read many reviews and saw the recommendation to go down even up to 1 full size. My left foot was slightly bigger than my right foot (6.5) so I had a bit of a dilemma going in my head. After contemplating, I went with a 6.5 because I know it will stretch.My first time in the gym did feel uncomfortable but second time putting them on felt much better and it ... MoreMy perspective on "lace shoes" for rock climbing included words like "troublesome/ difficult" to put on.

I would never go back to getting strap shoes or rentals (eeww).My recommendation is to give these a try and you will not regret getting them!!! It may not be for everyone, but just try all of them to know which style you prefer.

These were my very first climbing shoes, and I've grown emotionally attached to them :DI was told by an REI staff member that they would last around 6 months. I've had them for more than a year now, so I'm very happy with how long they've lasted.The rubber has worn down, but only recently developed tiny holes. I climbed with them mainly indoor, plus a few outdoor outings. I climb regularly, about three times a week for 2-3 hours each session.I've retired them as gym shoes and mainly wear them outside now.They are extremely comfortable -- I wore them at a competition for over 5 hours and never felt the need to take them off. Same is true during normal gym sessions. They are wonderful for outdoor climbing too.I love the laces - I can get the perfect fit for ... MoreThese were my very first climbing shoes, and I've grown emotionally attached to them :DI was told by an REI staff member that they would last around 6 months.

Same is true during normal gym sessions. They are wonderful for outdoor climbing too.I love the laces - I can get the perfect fit for my feet. I can't switch to velcro now because I would miss that perfect, snug fit.The color combo of orange and blue is a bit garish and I wish they had more colors available, but I've grown to like how quirky it is.
I bought these shoes several months ago as my first pair of climbing shoes and they have been great! When I first bought them I was worried that they were too tight, but after a few climbs the leather softened and stretched and now they fit perfectly. I have been using them quite consistently over the past several months and they look almost brand new! The wear has been so minimal.
I started my climbing journey with La Sportiva Tarantulace but after improving as a climber, I splurged for this pair and they've been a great addition to my routine! I have wide feet, which often makes it more difficult to find proper climbing shoes, especially as a woman. The laces have been a great alternative to the usual velcro straps! I typically boulder V2s and V3s with the occasional V4. They've been of great use while belaying as well.
I am a yoga instructor and have spent years spreading my toes and my feet. As a yoga instructor, I believe that healthy feet are critical to overall well-being. I was a bit afraid of climbing because of the shoes. Everyone says you have to crunch your feet into the shoes in order for them to be effective. I live in zero drop shoes where I can lift and spread my toes! So, I was a bit afraid of climbing because of the shoes. So, after a lot of research, I learned about the different shaped feet and what climbing shoe shape works best for what foot shape. I know this shoe won't work for everyone.

I know this shoe won't work for everyone. But it totally works for me. You can see the different foot shapes discussed at mountainproject.com. My big toe and next toe are identical in length and I found that a mostly "symmetrical" shoe is the best fit. This shoe has no slippage in the heel (I have narrow heels). And I have no pain in my toes like other styles I tried. Again, this shoe isn't going to work for everyone. Figure out what foot shape you have then do a little research. There are a few blogs and forums out there where people talk about their foot shape and recommended styles. I found the mountain project forum to be really helpful. I'm going to buy a second pair just because I know they'll stop making it then I'll have to start all over again. I was able to step on small foot holds without slipping - that I never thought was possible. LOVE THIS SHOE!
These shoes are amazing for beginners. I mostly wore mine in the gym but just recently started taking them top roping outdoors. The toe of the shoe started tearing at around 8 months of use; I climb at least twice a week so they’ve definitely had some good wear.In terms of comfortability- it’s painful at first; I went down half a shoe size due to the recommendation of the REI employee. The great thing about these shoes is they’re leather and they actually stretch. So while those first couple weeks were painful, I was thriving in no time. They can still feel a little tight but I honestly feel secure in my footing on the wall (indoors and outdoors).I’m starting to do more difficult climbs so I’ll need a different pair of shoes, but I’m getting my scarpa’s resoled. ... MoreThese shoes are amazing for beginners.

I just started climbing in December. As a yoga instructor, foot health is very important to me and I was really afraid of stuffing my feet into painful climbing shoes. After several hours of research on the internet, I found that you have to understand and know your foot shape and that there are different shaped shoes to fit different shaped feet. My big toe and second toe are the same length. And these shoes are described as semi-symmetrical. There aren't many symmetrical shoes out there. But I found for my foot shape that either symmetrical or semi-symmetrical fit great with no pain. The shoes that were painful to me were the ones that I describe as looking like ballerina shoes. Very pointy toe on the big toe side of the shoe and then a big "slope" downward. These ... MoreI just started climbing in December.

Very pointy toe on the big toe side of the shoe and then a big "slope" downward. These kinds of shoes are the opposite of symmetrical. So, although these shoes work great for me - it really all depends on your foot shape. I'd recommend going to REI and trying on several different shaped shoes. After ordering sizes that didn't fit (because they are all euro sizes that I really don't understand), I drove 2 hours to get to an REI store. Otherwise, you might spend a lot of time shipping shoes back and forth.
This was my first pair of climbing shoes and they are great - I’m still using them after purchasing them a few months ago! It can be hard to “break them in” but once they are stretched and worn for a bit they fit so well. I have a slightly wider foot so having a little extra room around my toes is so nice. Having the laces help fit the shoe even better to your foot, I personally find this to be better than Velcro.
