The Aspect Pro Climbing Shoes are designed for challenging terrains, offering a perfect fit and comfortable rubber. Customers have mixed opinions on sizing, with some finding it true to size while others recommend sizing up.

"Overall comfortable and climb well. However the rand started to delaminate from both shoes within 2 days of climbing. Similarly, some of the rubber on the lateral side of the shoe began to delam as well. If the quality control was higher these could be good shoes. Filed a claim so I guess we will see what happens, but not worth $240 for 2 days of climbing."
"Well. Shoes were warrantied. These came with the start of a delam on one toe without evening climbing on them. Serious issues with quality control and durability at this point. I cannot recommend these shoes, or BD support with for soft goods at least."
"These shoes fit and performed exceptionally well out of the box. After less than a normal amount of pitches the edges began to delaminate and inevitably disintegrate. Other than the delamination and rapid deterioration they are wearing very well. Just be prepared to pay for a very premature resole on you new $200+ shoes. The warranty claim I filed was rejected and I was told this wear is normal. I mostly climb cracks with these and they are in worse shape than my TC Pros with seven seasons on them. These have about 100 pitches on them. I usually get 200-300 pitches out of Scarpas and La Sportiva shoes."
"good shoe, personally I prefer the TC pro as its slightly more versatile and comfortable. the heal on these shoes is better but heal hooks are not the intended use. definitely a very good shoe for outdoor crack climbing."
"Nice combination of stick and stiff, two characteristics that are not always found together in the same place and time. Best explanation for this is the flexibility in the mid sole that allows the ankle to twist without disturbing the foot placement. Nice design"
"These are legit my first pair of good intermediate shoes, (first pair was scarpa origin) and to be fair these have outperformed my climbing level. I have been able to trust my feet so much more now and everything about them is so well. I ordered M9. 5 and they fit exact size like cinderellas glass slipper. if you preferred them to fit snug maybe just maybe get a size down."
"I prefer these to tc pros. Very surprised with the performance of the rubber. Edges and smears great"
"Wow! My new Aspect Pro climbing shoes are great! They are sticky in Little Cottonwood Canyon crags & the gym!"
"Amazing crack climbing shoes, fit my feet really well and keep them protected in foot Jams."
"Got these as an alternative to the TC pros that fall apart. Love the laces a lot more. Need more laps to gauge the longevity of these otherwise would have confidently given a 5 star review. Time will tell but so far great shoes!"
