Great materials and fit, still getting used to the downturned but they are great for bouldering, order 1 1/2 size up and fits just right

AWESOME
Didn't expected it will be that good as this is my first purchase from So Ill brand. I will definitely return for a second pair in future. Sizing wise, it fits perfectly. I am a US 7 on sneakers and I choose half size down for extreme fitting. Stay true to size would be good too. Overall, worth every penny!

Great Shoes!
I love these shoes, the color stands out and the fit is great. I have only used them indoors so far, but hope to try them outdoors in a few weeks. The fit is definitely aggressive, but as long as you follow the sizing recommendations you'll be fine.

First Aggressive Shoe
This is my first aggressive shoe vs. moderate and the downturn is no joke. The grip is amazing and it makes me realize what I've been missing! Definitely make sure the size is correct, they do fit snug and took me some time to get used to. I love the toe and feel much more confident in using it on small chips and edges.
