What do you think about that?
This is what other customers say:
Hi Paul,
"The problem is always the size." You're right!
Mad Rock state the following:
"Until you consider yourself at the intermediate or advanced stage, nearly everyone buys a pair too small at some point. This is often on the advice of shop assistants (who, if they are any good, will be intermediate/advance & therefore down-sizing) or friends who insist that "at least one size down" is the way. This stems from the days of climbing in hiking shoes, and obviously down sizing helped tremendously there. Having said that tighter is ultimately a better performer when you start pushing your grade limit."
Basically, to understand if these are for you or not , the only way to know will be to try on. Probably best to order a couple of pairs to try at home and return those that do not fit for a refund.
One customer review mentioned......"The Drone LVs have no empty space, and fit perfectly with only moderate stretch. They are pre-downsized-- for those that prefer a slightly tighter fit I recommend a maximum single size downsize from your typical street shoe."
