Stickit FriXion RS Climbing Shoe - Kids'

Way too small

Familiarity:

I returned this product before using it

Sizing was very far off. The shoes were tiny and did not come close to fitting. These were supposed to be size 2 equivalent. I purposely ordered them large and they were still way too small. Had to return them.

Great first shoe

Familiarity:

I've put it through the wringer

My daughter was really excited about these. The big gecko foot pull makes adjustment and closure simple for small hands. I felt sizing was accurate. Just like adult sizing for climbing shoes, you really need to measure your foot. I bought a 28-29 (10-11us)while my daughter had been wearing size 10 runners for a few weeks. We got two seasons out of these. I suggest ordering a size up and wearing a thin sock to start. The way the heel adjusts, it helps pull the foot forward and reduce volume so between that and a sock, you can comfortably go a bit bigger to start.

Size chart is off

The size chart presented is not the size of the shoes. I got them thinking they were 28/29 or it says 11/12 but they are 10/11. Need to change your chart to match the shoes.

Great for Confidence

We got these for our 5.5yo. They run a little smaller than his street shoes (ended up going one size higher than the bigger size the Size Chart suggested. These seem comfortable, and they do grip like climbing shoes. The grip, combined with having ?real climbing shoes? (it?s all about the gear!) helped Kiddo overcome his limits and climb a couple of moves higher than he had previously. He also seems to enjoy climbing more. The green/yellow looks great; nice bright contrast. He didn?t like how the dark red monochrome looked.

Way too small

I even ordered a half size up and still too small. Pretty annoyed that I have to pay for a return on them. Won't be ordering climbing shoes from Back Country again.
