Solutions have only gotten better. Still one of the best performing shoes on the market if they fit you. I size down to a 9 (42 EU) from street shoe size 11.

Great shoe. RUNS SMALL. Ordered same size as I had with the old solutions and these are substantially smaller, even after breaking them in. Size up at least a half size if you're going from the old soultions to the new ones. Other than that, a fantastic shoe.

very aggressive climbing shoe, normally you size down in climbing shoes and i would still do that with these to ensure a very secure fit and to ensure they don’t slip off your feet on the wall or a crag high performance quality shoe. would recommend. not recommended for a first time climber or a first shoe but once you get a feel for the sport and you need more specific shoes these are a go to.

Was stuck in 5.12a/V5 land. Not anymore! Now I’m hammering 13. Footwork with Solutions, on point. Don’t let yourself down. Get a pair.

Shoes are okay but the size is too small - recommend at least 1.5 plus your regular size

Perfette le scarpette e perfette il venditore!
Reviewed in Italy 🇮🇹 on February 22, 2023Size: 8.5Color: White/YellowVerified Purchase
La sportiva è sinonimo di qualità e queste scarpette in particolare sono scarpe di alto livello,ho avuto la "fortuna" di azzeccare subito il numero avendo esperienza con la marca e mi son trovato subito bene ad arrampicarci.
Che dire,il negozio è stato fantastico,fanno controllo della qualità del prodotto prima di spedirtelo e infatti hanno risolto da subito un piccolo problema...mi hanno contattato e perfino aiutato nella scelta della scarpetta.
sicuramente la migliore esperienza avuta tramite amazon.
