OK! Now I think I got it right! Sold to a friend the MR-Flash 7,5 and bought myself a 9,5, and now comes the true review of it!:What I can say, very good rock shoes, very sticky rubber, the shape is very good for my kind of foot, the heel fits like a charm, you barelly have empty spaces.Im comparission to MadRock Drift, I can say, the Flash ones are much more thigh and hard, the Drift ones I bought is half size smaller (9) and still much more confortable and soft than MR Flash.The rubber on the heel is amazing, soft but stick like superbonder on the rock... the special shape like scales absorb the impact really well.I would suggest this shoe for special routes with very small crimps or intensive heel hook work, I don't think it is a good idea to use it on long routes as it's asymmetric shape stress too much the feet.I'll keep the 04 stars rating because it is pretty good rock shoe but there is still room for improvements.==== old review below =======I've purchased this rock shows in the beg of 2011 taking in consideration the size I use with LA SPORTIVA, but unfortunatelly their matching are completelly different... for lucky I ended up selling to a friend and taking the money back. so the best solution on this case would be try this shoes on a phisic store before you buy it.Positives:The Shows are really nice, the rubber seems really sticky, the knee desing is awesome, the strap in the back are very well positioned.The Strap on the front are also good, didn't see what people say they are too long or such stuff..Also the quality of the material used is really good, can't tell if will still in good condition after long period os usage but I can say the seams look very hardy and there is no loose seams inside of the shoes, everything lead to feel Mad Rock has a very good quality control over their production.4 Stars because i didn't have a true chance to test it...==== old review below =======Kind regards,JohnnyFirst pair was a full size small. With the knit socks I was unable to get the shoe on one foot. The other was tighter than I usually like with toes curled in a painful position. Exchanged 9.5 for 10.5. While still a bit snug, an excellent edge and heel and there knit socks help keep my foot in place. No dead spots. Still a small rub on the toes that should dissipate once there broken in.Holy crap these are awesome. I was skeptical at first; I used Mad Rock when I first started climbing and loved the feel but went through them way too fast. I switched to Scarpa and of course, they were amazing and lasted forever. I finally wore through them and they are now 180 vs. the 120 I bought them at, so I looked for alternatives and went with this one. They are great so far. Indoor use only so far. sport and bouldering and show no signs of damage yet. I smear with my toes like a mad man so that's usually where it takes the most punishment but this seems to have extra thick rubber there. The heel is a little weird to walk in (the shoe is not comfortable to walk in period) but it actually does grab hold pretty good on heel hooks. They are a bit of a pain to get on and off but once its on its a part of you. Maybe a little bit of sensitivity on the toes is sacrificed for the durability, but its far from wearing ski shoes on the wall or anything. Buy them.Good shoes, I wear size 9 in addida and these i bought a 9.5. Fit's pretty true to standard American size. First time i used them they turned my feet orange though. : ) Would recommend to a friend.If you are on a budget these are the ones! Great quality and feel! Do not hesitate and buy them!!!There amazingAll-around performance shoe with a wider toe box than the Mad Rock Lotus, which I've worn for over five years. I am a 7 in the lotus and 5.5 in the shark. The heel hooking capability of this shoe is unmatched. Great for edging and equally flexible for smears both in and outside. I’ve worn these shoes, both the lotus and the shark, for almost a decade. I've tried other technical shoes made by other brands, but these shoes have proven to be the most versatile. Definitely recommend.For the price, it's hard to beat the shoe. A great one for beginners. However, don't expect to get too technical with them. They seemed to fit true to size for me (12/13 in most brands to a 13 in this shoe), and about as comfortable as climbing shoes can be.26.5cmを試着してみて無理だと思い、交換してみましたが27.5cmでも足の指が折れるくらいきついです。たぶん最大サイズの28cmでも履けないと思い、購入を諦めました、
