Why We Like The So iLL Stay LV Climbing Shoe
From plastic and gentle angles in the gym to rock and steeps outside, the So iLL Stay LV Climbing Shoe helps us stick to it all. The ultra-soft build with its split sole and thin rubber helps us hold tension on overhangs and increases our precision when balancing on thin, technical faces, while the fishhook midsole gives us added support on edges.

My toe is saved!!
- Familiarity:
- I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
After years of making my way through every conceivable iteration of shoe and still having immense pain in my right big toe, I encountered soill during a shoe demo at my gym and decided why not? They told me this model had a higher toebox, and I rolled my eyes internally because I've been promised this before. But this time the shoes delivered!! That night was the first time in my climbing career that my right big toe wasn't in excruciating pain *and* the rest of the shoe was performance-fit tight. I can finally toe hook and foot swap without serious pain while retaining the tightness I need to execute a good heel hook!! Can't wait to see what this does for my climbing in the long run. Still getting used to the rubber on the bottom of the shoe, which has a different feel than that of the muiras I'm used to, but this shoe and I are going places together!!! For all of my friends with a foot shape that defies la sportiva's and scarpa's best designs but who still want a performance shoe, give this a shot. The fact that they are vegan is just an added bonus. Street shoe 7.5, Stay LV size 6.5
