I had the old striped version of the Blackwing and they were inside a backpack that got stolen from my car. I ordered the same size as the last pair but these seem to have a little more room in the heel. The old heel fit perfectly, these have a tiny bit of air but its not the end of the world. The shoe still fits great, maybe a little roomier over all. I ordered exactly my street size. They perform incredibly well. I feel like I am cheating when I put these puppies on!
My only criticism would be the color. Not every woman wants to wear pink. I've worked in outdoor retail for 20 years and I wish vendors would learn this. I loved the old striped ones. If you have to offer pink, make it an optional color, not the only color you offer. I'll wear these happily, nonetheless, because they perform so well.

Super Narrow
Reviewed in the United States on 26 July 2015Verified Purchase
I have narrow feet, but couldn't get my feet in these shoes.
I prefer to wear comfortable climbing shoes, not meaning beginner shoes (though I'm a beginner).
I asked around and talked with those die-hard climbers, they suggested me wear shoes that I fee comfortable with.
I strongly agree.
How can you climb with shoes that hurt your feet? Not to speak of focusing on it.

awesome shoe! fits tight.
Reviewed in the United States on 24 May 2015Verified Purchase
This is my first pair of aggressive shoes, do I was unaware of how the break in process would go. The first two days were terrible and I thought I got a half size too small, but the break in process is begining. I can definitely tell they are going to be perfect once they are broken in completely! very small amount of dead space in the heel, but it's not an issue at all. These shoes are great for smearing and I was able to accomplish a V5 that I could not do in my evolv Electras without hesitation.
