Women's OXYGYM Climbing Shoe

Cute, and washable, but they pinch a bit. I followed the side chart. I know they are supposed to be tight, but sometimes they pinch to the point where I get shooting pain in my feet or ankle. I also seem to always get blisters if I don't wear socks (which I know you are not supposed to). I will continue to break them in and update later.

Lucked out and got the correct size on these without trying them on!! I ordered a 7.5, which is my normal street shoe size..they must be already sized down. They fit perfect (snug, but not painful, tip of toe touches the front of shoe, and no socks!), and they look great! I love the color ❤️ You can really tighten them up with the way the cross straps work as well. And they perform great! I’m using them for indoor rock climbing, and I definitely trust my shoes. Good buy!!

I normally wear a women's size 6 US. Initially ordered the 36.5 and they for the body of my foot well but my toes were really crunched into them, it was a but painful to stand in. I ordered the next size up (37) to compare and ended up returning the smaller pair. The 37's are still snug but I don't have to bunch up my toes to fit them in. They've been great to climb in, lots of grip on the indoor climbing walls I've been on so far. Oh and they look awesome too. I chose them because they were an affordable option that did not have any leather on them (I was looking for a cruelty free shoe)

I really like the style of these shoes, however the sizing seems to be off. I know climbing shoes are supposed to be tighter, but these were basically an entire size off compared to the chart. I am normally a W 6.5 maybe a 7 in normal shoes but when I ordered the 38, the US size on the tag in the shoe was a size 6. I just reordered according to the men’s sizing and I am hoping the 39 or men’s 6.5+ will be just right. I feel like just ignoring the woman’s size on the chart and just going off of the men’s and EU sizes will give you a more accurate size for the women’s shoes.

As a beginner climber (less than a year of climbing), these shoes have done a great job.I decided to order these after 3 months of climbing and renting shoes from the gym. The amount that I was spending on renting shoes was almost breaking even with the cost of a new pair, so I decided to go ahead and take the leap of investing in my first pair of rock climbing shoes. I wanted something that would fit and perform better than the rentals I had been using without breaking the bank.The shoes were delivered to me five days after ordering them. I ordered a size 40.5, a half size smaller than my normal shoe and the size I wear in gym rentals. In all honesty, I probably could have gotten away with ordering a 41. The shoes were tight enough that my toes were curling just slightly, but since they weren’t broken in yet and there wasn’t a return label I decided to try them out. I’m glad I did!I have been climbing in the shoes for the past five months. I go climbing indoors two to three times a week for around 2 hours. I’m able to wear the shoes for the entire duration of the session without having to take my shoes off. They are tight enough to make me feel confident in placing my feet without them shifting inside the shoe, like the ones I would rent from the gym.The shoes work great for the level of routes that I am currently climbing.Since I am not progressing very quickly, I don’t think that I will be needing to buy new shoes as I get better since they have been doing the job just fine. They don’t slip on the tinier foot holds or while smearing. When they do slip, it’s more likely my own fault than it is because of the shoe.I chose the Oxygym shoe because they were a relatively cheap neutral climbing shoe that had bright colors that would bring out my own personal style. The style of the shoe is great and looks a lot different from most other beginner shoes out on the market (La Sportiva Tarantulace is a popular one at my gym and mostly the only other ones I see). I enjoy having unique-looking shoes that speak to my style while also giving me the convenience of velcro straps. If you are slipping in and out of your shoes a lot, it is so nice to have velcro straps and not laces. You can just strap in and go whenever you’re ready.The only downside to the shoes is that they don’t have great breathability. I find that this will be an issue no matter the shoe you have and being on top of cleaning them is helpful. I haven’t attempted to fully wash them yet, but spot-cleaning simply putting a dryer sheet or a tiny sock of baking soda in each shoe helps reduce any lingering odor between climbs. Nobody likes stinky feet in the gym.Because I am only climbing 5.8 to 5.10- routes and mostly indoors, I don’t need a shoe that can “do it all”. These are a great choice for any beginner. If you decide to buy it from this vendor I suggest that you either buy your actual shoe size or allow a little more in your budget to pay for any possible returns.

My daughter loved this shoe. She's an intermediate climber and decided to stop getting rentals each time she went and loves the feel of these. Snug but good fit and nice look too. She is a 7/7.5 in normal shoes, went a 1/2 size more to a 39 and it was perfect. I know these shoes say indoor, but she uses mostly indoor and some outdoor climbing.

First time owner of anything Sportiva, probably my last as well. Not the quality I expected from this brandHeal separating after only a few indoor climbing sessions. Evolv shoes lasted me 3 years, Sportiva lasted 3 months...Otherwise, toe control on the walls.Disclaimer: I throw heel hooks whenever possible. Evolv didn't mind

Good beginner shoe. I like the colors on these, and the velcro straps are nice. They're not too aggressive for a beginner, but still has a some arch. I have pretty wide feet - I got a size 37 and I wear a size women's 6 in regular shoes. I would not be able to size down - they are very snug on my feet. I feel like they run narrow, I wish I would have gotten a 37.5.
