Great Design but like all of adidas shoes they run super small size 2 sizes up for comfort.
I wear street shoe size 12.5 in DC or Vans, Size 13 in Nike Or Adidas, I ordered the largest two sizes, got this in size 14 was still to small. If your buying an aggressive shoe or anything over moderate-buy 2 sizes up a 15 would of fit me right. Also they do not stretch much at all and the last is designed for thin heal and narrow foot. Ordered the NIAD VCS in sizes 14 and 15, as well as NIAD moccasym in RED size 14. Hoping their flat profile will let my feet fit in them. Thank god for Amazon Prime, with my big feet NO store carries any shoes in my size. Even went to the flagship store in NYC & they had only 5 crap beginners shoes in my size. Also, 5.10 NIADs are gym only these PRIMEAON could be used outdoor as well. While Niads are gym-only shoes, If they fit I will let ya know follow me on @Cryptodelphi on Twitter. Also live in lower 48 order from EVOLV or SCARPA for free returns. Both Make several moderate shoes in sizes 14+, Ahh La Sportiva Tarantulace is a great cheap beginner's shoe, that comes in sizes up to 16. If I was to buy ONly one shoe for Gym and outdoors, right now I think it would be the SCARPA Mid ECO Maestro Trad shoe. Really Does it all. another trad shoe to consider is evolv general, not meant for indoor, but can easily be used for it. If you wear street shoe 11 or smaller u may be able to find shoes in stores, but street shoes are 12.5 and bigger and you're really limited. Plus must larger size shoes are really ugly shoes. No, style points, but with this sport, it's about the fit & performance, not style. If I wore a size 12. a Size 14 Primeaeon would of fit. So. ill Mamoas or topo collab for smaller feet is a great starter shoe. So are the Scarpa Vapor Men's lace for indoor and outdoor. I did order size 14 in Scarpa Veloces indoor-only shoe. Also, check out YOSEMITEBUM.com don't buy new shoes when you can get the best Industry rubber & have ANY CLIMBING SHOE Re-Soled in Vibram. They also customize the Re-Soles so you can add rubber where it wasn't before.

Quality shoe for a budget price - go up two sizes
I'm a men's size 9 wide street shoe and the Aleon size 11 fits good and snug. I thought any climbing shoe under $100 would feel cheap, but these are well-structured and provide firm support. Great for an intermediate climber. The achilles part of the shoe required some breaking-in. The elastic top with the hook & loop closure feels secure. They're not super aggressive, but not weak and sloppy either. If you're a beginner, you may want to go 2&1/2 sizes up for more comfort or look for a softer shoe.

Adidas destroyed this brand of climbing shoes , don’t buy any climbing shoe from them . The moc was the greatest shoe ever and they ruined it . I bought this shoe a have size down and couldn’t get my foot in the shoe. There was zero stretch which means you’ll need to buy a half size up to get it on your foot. Don’t waste you time just go to your local gym or store and try them on in person .

Adidas destroyed 5-10
Adidas have destroyed this product. The shoe I bought in a a half size down and I could not get my foot in the shoe you’ll need to buy at least a size and a half up to be comfortable and then at that point your foots going to slide around in the climbing shoe, defeating the purpose the moccasin was one of the best shoes ever made and Adidas has destroyed it. Just go to your local gym or store and try shoes on in person.

Get a MUCH BIGGER size than normal!
5 stars for effectiveness of the shoe.1 star for sizing issue.Meet in the middle for 3 stars.Seriously get two or even THREE sizes above your normal shoe size if you have big feet.My normal size is US 10.5 wide (size 44), and I needed to get size 13 before they felt even remotely comfortable. My toes still feel mega scrunched and uncomfy, but I think it's the right fit for how tight rock climbing shoes should be.On the bright side, they serve their function. They got a good downturn with an extra bit for the toes that should make weight distribution easy for tight turns and stepping up more easily.
