The La Sportiva Tarantulace is our top recommendation for new climbers who are ready to commit to buying their own pair of shoes. The Tarantulace is first and foremost comfortable - their soft leather uppers will stretch with wear. The shoes are not aggressively shaped like our value recommendation, so they work great for all-day multi-pitch climbs or long gym sessions. They do have a slight downturn which helps them excel as an edging shoe. We found them to work best on vertical terrain with decently sized footholds. 
Once the angle gets steeper, or the holds become more like smears, the Tarantualces start to become a bit more challenging to trust. The rubber compound is not the stickiest we've tested, and the stiffness of the sole makes them a bit hard to smear with, especially on footless granite slabs. This aside, the Tarantulaces are still great shoes for most introductory climbing.

 So in obviously the shoe size is very so, if you're in yeah. If you're in a different country, you know I apologize for not giving you guys different technical, specs and engrams or anything or any other formation. But I feel as if I feel as if the shoe fit me really well, but I should have gone with a smaller size. I think a 9 and a half and the shoe would have fit me perfectly

 But I feel as if I feel as if the shoe fit me really well, but I should have gone with a smaller size. I think a 9 and a half and the shoe would have fit me perfectly. Of course, like I said before, not all the sizes are exactly the same, so that nine and a half may have been a little bit different. You know, and I haven't tried on I because I haven't tried on a nine and a half, but when I've been back to the store - and I try on these exact shoes in the exact same size, it feels tighter than this shoe and I understand, there's amount Of stretch within these shoes because of the leather insides, they have leather so because they have leather on the on the inside of the actual component of the shoe, it does have a it does, have a decent amount of stretch to it, and it will

 I don't want to have my shoe on for very long and because it's such a tight fit. I don't really need to worry about popping off. Necessarily the heel does fit. My feel really well, but I have heard people say that it doesn't, it doesn't fit their heel all the way

 It'S a comfortable fit. It is very like almost worn in when you put them on for the first time and it does have low low asymmetry feeling as far as the fit goes. So that's really nice um, let's see the midsole, which is this portion. This area right here is actually 1

La Sportiva Tarantulace Review: My thoughts over 3 years of use

 Whatever size you order, in US just know it is likely to be a size smaller. I am not sure which is correct, the EU size or the US size. Just know that the sizing chart and what you get may be missed labeled. The shoes that I ordered now fit fine, but it was a hassle trying to figure out the correct sizing

Sizing is off

 In any case, this one's a little more triple to where the souls in the back or a solid rubber sole that runs the entire length of the foot. Some of the more advanced shoes will have a space here where you've got rubber on the heel and rubber. On the pad of your feet - and your toes is very those are very aggressive shoes, this one's again designed more for comfort and is a more moderate, entry-level style of shoe. I will say this, though these shoes will grow with you

 I don't have to do that. I can walk around in these shoes and it stays comfortable at least enough to walk around it. You never want to wear them outside walking on the street or something like that. They are not that kind of comfort, but in the gym or if you're on you know a rock face, whatever they tend to be very, very comfortable and you're, not really thinking about them and you're

 I was kind of surprised. I thought I might only have them six months, but they worked really well and I've been very pleased with their performance they've a full leather upper, very comfortable on top and because of the lacing. You can adjust it to make sure that it fits your instep well, which is very important, because these things need to fit very, very snugly to your feet, to make sure that you're getting enough pressure on your toes to keep them together. But again these aren't going to be crushing you toes together

 So don't worry about that. So one of the things talking about comfort when you're at the gym a lot of times, you'll see climbers, climbing and then, as soon as they come down, they're, either taking their shoes completely off or at least half way kind of wandering around the gym. Those tend to be the more aggressive super tight shoes. These I found

 Get one size down from what you normally use! And if you don't know your size, measure the size of your feet!

5 Womans) and when I got it, it fit the exact size. If it werent a climbing shoe, would be perfect, but since it's supposed to be used for indoor climbing, I had to exchange for one size down (5 Womans), which then fit really good. Get one size down from what you normally use! And if you don't know your size, measure the size of your feet!

Seems really good, and the fit was so confortable I had to change to a smaller size

 I would also suggest the shoe more for beginner top rope than boulder.  Sizing - they will stretch some. I am a 7-7.5, and should have ordered at 37

Great beginner shoes

wrong size

I do not have two left feet.

Great climbing shoes BUT

Nice shoe!

BEWARE - If "ClimbingShoes" is fulfilling the order - The first time I ordered these, the rubber material of the sole was coming apart, therefore i returned them. I repurchased, then they proceeded to send me the incorrect shoe. I received the tarantula (velco), rather than the tarantulace (laces). I will be returning again, and not repurchasing for a third time due to quality and lack of correct order fulfillment

Regarding sizing - I agree with the other reviews. If you're a beginner, definitely order up a full size from your regular US shoe size
