With hundreds of reviews and a 4.6 star rating, it's clear that climbers are psyched about these shoes. La Sportiva's Womens Solutions are one of their most popular climbing shoes - definitely worth checking out if you're in the market for a high performance rock climbing shoe.
So, what's the fit like? As aggressive as they are, climbers have noted that they're surprisingly comfortable. They have a snug toe box with good rubber coverage for toe-hooking, edging with them feels secure, and the 3D molded heel cup makes them heel-hook like a dream 👌 Climber's rave about their performance with overhung and technical face climbing, noting that they're highly sensitive and offer better precision while edging.
One thing to note: La Sportiva shoes (especially women's versions) are typically favored by climbers with narrower feet - but that doesn't mean they're not wide-foot friendly too! We recommend taking them out for a quick sesh so you can really get a feel for them.
TDLR; At $180 for a new pair, they're a pretty penny (real pretty). These shoes may favor narrower feet. They're a popular model built for lasting performance so they're likely a bang for your buck.
