A good slipper. Fits the foot well, and holds on to the wall very well. Good sensitivity. Not very durable. I destroyed a pair in two months(shoes usually last me alot longer than this). However I like them enough that I plan on buying another pair. They stretch alot with wear so buy them pretty snug.

great shoe. The only thing that I have to say about it is that the rubber is to thin. I climb a lot and they only lasted 4 months until i blew a whole in them. They also make your feet orange!!!

I love these shoes. They are a great gym or bouldering shoe. I wouldn't recommend them for multipitch routes they have a tendancy to hurt after a while. For edging and complex moves they are tops, great rubber!

this shoe is a ferrari. it performs when it is asked to with the utmost precision. it handles overhanging boulder problems as well as thin slabs! i know this last piece goes against everyone elses info, but trust me, i climb in them 5 days a week for at least 4 hours each day on all types of vertical terrain. i wear mine 4 sizes smaller to account for stretch, but wearing a shoe this tight usually leads to a blowout at some point (the pressure has to go somewhere). is the shoe worth it? i'mon my fouth pair since their debut and i'll buy another pair when this pair is dead. unfortunately, they climb best when most people are considering getting them resoled.

Customer Service

when i blew out my initial pair in a couple of weeks, a person in warranty was a bit hasty in their assessment in my climbing ability, despite never having met the person and living in completely different states. since then the rubber rand has been thickened. take this for what it's worth.

-Not only do these orange cobras look hot, but they perform like no other shoe. These slippers fit on your feet with a slight suction as you put them on. They fit on the tiniest dynos, and the smallest cracks. Plus, there only a hundred bucks! The heel cup molds to your foot while the toe box squeezes your foot as it stretches. (By the way, order atleast one to two full sizes down for a proper fit). These cobras stretch incredibly. They're great for bouldering, and technical routes. Try not to smear as much with them, just place your toe on the hold. NO SLAB, cause the sole is alittle thin. Once you get them ....ENJOY!!!!

Customer Service

-I had no trouble with them, just wash them down with a damp towel after each use so minute particles dont develop in the sole.

The shoes are fantastic and inexpensive....my overall favorite and most versitle out of all the shoes I own. I originally bought them for the gym but after some use I began using them almost exclusively outdoors. They're slippers with a lot of curvature so don't use them on slabs, cracks or long routes. On anything else they are by far the best!
