So I’ve been climbing for a year now and I’ve just had the basic beginner shoes, but I started to feel with climbing 6a’s that it’s didnt do the job,but this shoe feels so good! And it’s also not to aggressive perfect if ur between 5c-6b. And also with just the one stap love it! So unique! And I’m from Europe and no one knows this company, at first I bought it because it was my favourite colour and I wanted a more advanced shoe! But now my climbing buddy is also that the shoes are so pretty also want one same as me, and it feels so good that more people are getting to know this brand

Huge upgrade. I have been using New Zero Pro for several years, as well as testing a plethora of other models. While the NZP was always my go to, I’m fully converted to the Stay after only 1 session. Much needed improvements in heel and toe hook ability with this model, the shoe is a soft sensitive model great for new style comp climbing, but also the toe is more ridgid than its predecessor allowing for a more stable toe on smaller edges making it suitable for overhung and slab. No more inner lining means the shoe is a lot lighter and less likely to rip at the pull tabs. The heel is narrow and fits well if sized properly.

With the help of a very knowledgeable and patient sales rep at my local Backcountry store, I tried on tons of different bouldering shoes after my beginner pair wore out. These felt great right out of the box and have been super fun to climb in, plus they look cool. Oh, and So iLL hooked me up with a coupon code because I have different size feet and bought two pairs, which I greatly appreciate.

One note, I did go up a half size from my street size for a snug but not painful fit.

So I have been using this shoe on and off now for the past 3-4 months. I’ve cycled it in with some other pairs to be able to compare. Other shoes I’ve used have been 5.10 HiAngles, Scarpa Instinct VSR, and La Sportiva Skwama. I think the shoe is very solid, the fit is great. I am usually size 10-10.5 for street shoes and most of the time end up getting 9.5 for my climbing shoes and that’s what I got in these. Rubber is good on them, heel fits well, no issue with any of the stitching inside of the shoe. There has been very little stretch to the fit for how long I’ve been using them, and probably only took 2-3 sessions until they broke in. I think performance wise they’re good, i liked them better than the Scarpas I mentioned, but still ended up preferring the 5.10 and La Sportiva’s mentioned. I’m not sure if it’s the symmetry of the toe box but I just had a slight disconnect from where my toe and the slight talon part of the shoe was making contact on the wall. I had a much easier time smearing/edging on the wall in the 5.10’s although these shoes were more comfortable. I definitely preferred them for when doing ropes/volume but when I needed to get the most out of a shoe they weren’t my first choice. Still tho it’s solid, and it’s definitely one of the best looking shoes I’ve used. I think for gym use it’s been fine and good for being in something comfortable while warming up/ramping up but not the shoe I grabbed for when I really wanted to send something. And while I did state I had them for 3-4 months I’ve probably only worn them maybe 10-20 sessions in total considering I’d alternate with other shoes to compare. I think if you’re looking for a shoe to cruise in and be comfortable these are solid, but I may look for a different model to have that better connection of where my toe is with the wall.

I've been climbing for 12 years and So iLL has been my go-to this whole time. This newest purchase, the Stays, are the best yet. I was a little worried about the new rubber but I immediately learned I have nothing to worry about. This thing does not mess around. It doesn't slip on smears or chips, it fits really well, and I've been able to outdo myself with these shoes. It's even -- dare I say -- comfortable. I will continue to support So iLL (as a customer) as long as they continue to support me (literally, on the wall)! Thanks for another great shoe.

My last pair of So iLL shoes were the Street and I liked them a lot. When it was time for new shoes I got these Stay models and they fit like a glove. Took me a few sessions to really break them in.

My street shoes size is a 10 and I got these in a 10.

Ordered a 10.5 it was way too small super tight, 11 would have been perfect. I’m a 10.5 and size to fit wasn’t actually correct.

If you’re looking for a shoe that does it all this one is it. Extremely versatile shoe can be used on big wall and boulder room all day. I recommend getting exact shoe size for proper fit and to not undersize any of the new lines.

Started out with the SoiLL Free Range, so in comparison, major upgrades to shoe quality overall. Straight out of the box , the soft leather feels incredible. Not abrasive or drying like other shoes. The sensitivity feels just right, at least for someone who prefers more stiff shoes. In terms of sizing, it does run small, so I went half a size up for it to feel just right. Otherwise wearing it with my street size is quite snug, but not unbearable. For someone with wide feel and narrow heels, this shoe fit like a glove. Overall, the design and look of it is sick. Great color too. Feels good on overhang and I can see myself wearing them for longer sessions for sure.

I purchased these to transition into a sockless shoe, these fit very tight but not unbearable. Really helped me go up 2 grades on my bouldering journey, not to mention they are the sickest shoes in the gym. I recommend buying your regular shoe size.

1/2 size up fits like a glove for my quite wide feet. Really happy with my purchase!
