After a year of using these shoes twice a week, I tore a hole near the big toe--probably from smearing / dragging against the wall. With better footwork, they may last longer. Comfortable and good quality. I used my normal shoe size and still felt comfortable on slab problems.

I've bought these shoes twice in a row now and loved them both every time. They feel good on my feet and the wall right out of the box.I specifically buy these because of the spacious toe-box (a surgery left me with some 'delicate' toes).

I bought these shoes and used them for bouldering for about 3 months(climbing 2-3 days per week) and they turned out to be a great starter shoe. Super comfortable and they have good flexibility and grip. Only bad thing I can say about the shoe is that it is wider than I like, so if you have wider feet, these will be a perfect fit. I wear an 11 in street shoes so I ordered 1.5 size bigger (12.5) in these and they fit just right. If you like your shoes really tight I'd only get 1 size bigger than your normal shoe size.

Hi climbing society, I'm a size 8- 9.5 in regular shoe sizes. I brought a 9.5 (9 1/2)UK size after I checked the scrapa size chart it says true to size. It I received and climbed with the shoes and found it was .5 (1/2)UK size to tight. I recommend u purchase 2 sizes bigger than your regular shoe size.All in all nice aggressive professional climbing shoes with great TDR resistance!!!!

Great climbing shoe. Fit as expected. Slightly tight through the toes, but I have wide feet.

According to Scarpa this new "V" version of the Force that replaces the Force X brings High-performance features to a flat, less aggressive last (defined below), the redesigned Force V features a softer, more compact construction that strikes the perfect balance between all-day comfort and climbing performance. Yes that sums it up!If you require a less aggressive flat lasted shoe (instead of toes pointed down or Asymmetric) for longer term comfort but don't want to give up all the performance features by going to a flat shoe, then this might be a good choice for you. The "Last" of a climbing shoe is the 3-dimensional form on which a shoe is constructed. This Force V has Scarpa's Men’s "FF" – Flat Profile, Slightly Asymmetric last. What that means is a more comfortable rock climbing shoe. Also since not all feet are the same, different models of Scarpa shoes have different lasts. Personally I can't wear a shoe that has a highly Asymmetric last (curved side to side) like the Boostic, Booster S, Furia, or Drago. These 4 models have the FZ- Aggressive, downturned and highly asymmetric last. The new Force V is less Asymmetric like the Instinct (VS's, VSR's, & Lace's) but in a flat shoe. The sole is better Vibram® XS Edge (4mm) rubber as opposed to the base rubber found in entry level shoes . These are working great for me Sport climbing 5.9's.I wear a 43 to a 44 in street shoes depending on the brand. For example in Asics trail running shoes I am a 10.5 or 44. In Scarpa approach shoes I am a 44. The casual Dr Martens shoes I have on now are 43. In these Force V's I tried both the 42.5 and the 43. I settled on the 42.5 for a nice tight performance fit. If I had not taken the advice of a seasoned climber I would have gone with a 43 which would have proven to have been the wrong choice. I went with the tighter shoe. Ideally you do not want any dead space in any of the areas such as the toebox, heal, or the arch. They shouldn't be painful but they should be very tight. As far as sizing, as a general rule in a flat shoe, you only go down .5 to 1.0 in size in a Scarpa... Scarpa says on their site in regards to sizing to "downsize 1/2 to 2 full sizes from street shoe size - *downsizing depends on model, intended use, and personal preference."I hope this information is helpful. The Scarpa Force V is a good shoe and works great for its intended design and purpose!
