Review 5 out of 5 stars

Review by: zakat, 2003-09-27


durability:
these shoes lasted me a long time. after about 7 months of indoor and outdoor climbing they finally need to be resoled.

sizing:
they hurt like hell the first time i put them on. my shoe size is 10.5 - 11 so i got 9.5. now they fit so perfect i can probably pick up rice with my toe :)

price:
i bought them new for around ~ $65 after shipping + customs at sportextreme.com 2 years ago.

Great shoe. Our winters are very long here, so I picked up a pair of Cobras for the gym. I was climbing on an older pair of Huecos outside and one day I used the Cobras; never looked back. An extremely performance oriented shoe. Good for friction, edging, and pockets. Mind you, in order to assure future fit, I got them 2 sizes smaller (read they hurt like hell for a month) but they maintain their form now. I've even crack climbed with them (not recommended).

I originally bought these shoes to use in the gym because my anasazi's were getting trashed, but increasingly I find that these are my first choice shoes for steep outdoor bouldering.

The downturned toe is very different from my 5.10's and my mythos, and while it means they are good for edging and toeing into small pockets it also compromises smearing ability. I sized these shoes WAY down (both my other pairs are euro 42 and my cobras are 38.5!) and am really happy with how they fit now. At first I could only wear them for thirty seconds at most and while I wouldn't want to be doing multipitch in them, they fit very well now.

The fit is really good for my thin feet - the slingshot thingy really makes them suck onto my foot.

Great shoes, especially if you mostly do steep bouldering/sport. Pretty cheap too.

I love this shoe!!! The quality of the shoe is excellent in my opinion... I went through three pairs of shoes prior to this in a four month period and these shoes have been holding up over the last three months of climbing (Both indoor and outdoor).

This shoe stretched at least a size from when I bought it, and I am happy that I downsized as small as I could!

Fantastic shoe for aggressive climbing if sized correctly. I wear a 44 in Mad Rock Mugens and 5.10 Anasazi Velcro. In the Cobra I wear 41.5 or 42, the latter fitting without discomfort. My size 43s are far too big.
