Wasn't sure what to expect. I had never had a pair of performance climbing shoes, with an aggressively down cambered toe. This was my first. Let me revise that. I'd tried some on, and they didn't fit. So I didn't buy them. And then I tried the Shaman. The Knucklebox fits my long toes perfectly. Even with my Morton's toe, this is the first asymmetrically lasted shoe (90% of climbing shoes) that fits my foot! And then the love bump is just a premolded part of the sole, but it makes such a difference for snug fit and feel. No void of space underneath my toes, they are ensconced snugly in rubber above and below. Heel is great, a little movement but secure enough that it'll never come off, no matter how sketchy the hook. Three velcro straps allow me to customize the fit greatly, if I was to want for something, it'd be some sort of way to reduce the heel volume for my less meaty feet. Asides from that magic adjuster, these shoes are above and beyond what I was expecting, and are worth every penny. And they don't look half bad, either. :) I'm not so much into Rasta, so I call 'em my Rainbow shamans, or maybe Stoplight Shamans? Regardless, they're awesome. Fit is true, in the Demorto's I sized down 1 1/2 sizes to 10.5, here I stuck with a 12. Incidentally the shoes are the same length when I put them side by side. Once I get used to climbing with this much power and feel to my toe, I may end up sizing down to 11.5. We'll see. Hope this helps!

I wear street shoe size 44 or 10.5. I wear an 11 in 510 and an 11 in this shoe too. I ordered a 10.5 and had to exchange for the bigger size. The 11 fits perfectly. The fit is extremely comfortable, the leather insole is soft and the cotton heel grippy. The heel cup fits better than my 510, actually has no bagginess, and I have a slim-ish foot. The rubber feels sticky and grippy. The toe-box and love bump are super nice. My big toe was broken last year, so it has heeled a lot, but this toe-box makes a huge difference for me. Camber/downturn is nice and the edging rubber on toe and side of foot feels solid. I'm climbing tonight, so I'll test them there and report back. I can tell these will be great though. Awesome! Style is great, but just wished that maybe the theme was relegated to one color for the straps. I'm not much of a rasta-head. Ras Trent!

This is definitely the best shoe ever! Climbing with the Rasta is absolute cheating! The only important thing is the sizing...I first got an 8.0 pair size (my street size is 8.5), but it was way too tight! At Chris Sharma's video, talking about the evolv shaman (you can find the video at evolv's website), he suggests to order the shoes half a size larger than the usual. The reason is because, due to the shoe's shape you don't need to cram your toes to get the shamans' full performance. As a result I ordered a new pair in 8.5, and it was the best decision. After a week of intense climbing the shoes are fully broken-in, and feel amazing on my feet. Conclusion, do not hesitate in getting these shoes!
