I have relatively wide feet with average volume, and I purchased a pair of climbing shoes in the same size as my street shoes (feet length 24.5mm, Catch length 24.7mm). Initially, I found that this pair was on the narrow side for climbing shoes and quite difficult to slip into. However, after using them for two sessions, they became snug around my feet, providing excellent coverage and ease of slipping in. I'm happy with how they've broken in.

On the performance side, these shoes are soft enough for flexibility, enabling adaptation to angles. They also offer sufficient support for sticking to smaller edges and provide the sensitivity required to gauge the security of foot placements. Overall, I'm impressed with their performance!

Most importantly, these climbing shoes are not only functional but also quite stylish! I can't resist good-looking shoes!!!!

Awesome work!

Have only been climbing (bouldering) for about 4 months and thought it was time to upgrade from my Five Ten Anasazi Moccasyms. These Five Tens were my first pair of climbing shoes and were flat, basically "up"turned lol (see picture). As my first pair of climbing shoes, I didn't see any weaknesses in them (especially compared to rental shoes). Purchasing So iLL's "Catch" shoe, I could definitely notice the upgrade. The upper rubber helps with toe hooks and the heel grips pretty well for heel hooks since the rubber on the bottom of the shoe and the heel are from one continuous piece of rubber. The downturn helps a lot with small footholds and overhangs. Keep in mind, this review is my experience transitioning from the Anasazis to the Catch (I'm not an expert enough to review this shoe objectively). So far, this shoe is performing very well as I'm working on V5/6s.

In addition to performance, these shoes just look so good. I'm a fan of slippers and the design for the Catch is so sleek/aesthetic. In person, the shoes do have a slight "bog green" tint despite pictures making them seem black and white. It doesn't really bother me. Lastly, the shoes did come with a slight stain on one of the pull tabs and the toe rubber on one of the shoes looked a little dirty. I was a little annoyed at first but realized they would get dirty eventually anyways.

For sizing, my street shoe size is 9 to 9.5. For my Anasazis and Catches, I got 9.5s. From what I've seen online, people would think I'm crazy for not getting a size smaller than my street shoe size. However, mine are actually a really good fit on me. They do hurt after about 30 minutes but breaking them in will help with that.

I totally recommend this shoe!

They said the street size would do but they were way too small I’m trying to exchange them
