Climb Like Spiderman

these shoes are a massive Improvement over my first set of "beginner" shoes. the toe rubber is a nice touch and the more aggressive shape helps with the small chips and underhangs. does take some breaking in but after that they are not terribly uncomfortable to climb in, and even walk around

Skwama

Comfy right out the box!! These run a tad big and I went down a half size from my Scarpa Instinct shoes. If you let the back lip fold in as you put them on you can get some bad achilles friction

Snug Fit, Great For Classic Foot Shape

I have both the 40.0 and 40.5 men sizes (street shoe size 42.5-43 or USM 9.5-10). The 40.5 gives a super snug but not painful fit right out the box and breaks in is fast (within a single session). The 40.0 I'd consider a performance fit as its just small enough where the edges scrape a bit against my ankle bone out the box but will eventually stretch enough after a few session. In a typically session, I'd still need loosen / take feet out within 30min due to big toe being a tad too crunched up on the 40.0, but not the 40.5. Heel is very good on both and I don't feel the risk of the shoe popping off on deep heel-hooks. Rubber is soft and sticky (grip 2) so will need to resole if smearing too much. The snug fit makes it suitable for both edging and smearing which I haven't found in other shoes.

A Tried And True Show

The Skwamas are an awesome, all-around shoe. They are comfy enough for longer pitches if you don’t size down too much, and are still aggressive enough for hard bouldering and edging. I have tried a lot of shoes over the years, but keep coming back to these.

The Right Shoe For Me

They fit my wide and oddly shaped feet comfortably. However, I do have to size down on these about 2 full sizes from my street shoe size. I like the softness of them as well. I switch between these and the Miuras or Instinct VS depending on the boulder. But, Skwamas are my main go to pair.
