These shoes are very comfortable and fit exactly on my feet so there is little discomfort.<\/p>\n<p>-Adapt to fit your feet after sustained periods of use so you can fit them a little small but they will eventually mould\u00a0around the shape of your foot.<\/p>\n<p>-These shoes are flat which means they aren&#8217;t very aggressive on your toes so comfier than the majority of downturned shoes.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Overall these shoes are very versatile and have been my favourite for as long as I can remember!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Number two :<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.fiveten.com\/uk\/climbing\/aggressive\/blackwing-womens-pink-blue\">Blackwing (Womens)<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/emilytheclimber.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/5003040_2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-741\" src=\"https:\/\/emilytheclimber.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/5003040_2-300x219.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"219\" srcset=\"https:\/\/emilytheclimber.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/5003040_2-300x219.jpg 300w, https:\/\/emilytheclimber.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/5003040_2-768x561.jpg 768w, https:\/\/emilytheclimber.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/5003040_2-1024x748.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/emilytheclimber.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/5003040_2.jpg 1300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>(My tip &#8211; order a size bigger than you would wear on flat shoes e.g if you are a 4.5\u00a0normally, order\u00a05.5, I learnt the hard way!)<\/p>\n<p><strong>BENEFITS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>-Amazing precision, especially on roof or overhanging climbs<\/p>\n<p>-No aggressive heel like a lot of downturned shoes so pretty comfortable<\/p>\n<p>-Do not come off on heel hooks. \u00a0Some shoes start to slide off when you pull on heel hooks. (if you fit them too big they may slide a little)<\/p>\n<p>-Grippy rubber that does not slip easily on small or particularly flat ones.<\/p>\n<p><strong>MY FAVOURITE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Now that i\u00a0have compared them side by side I now have decided that my favourite shoe of all time is&#8230;&#8230;.
