The original Phantom LV is their favourite outdoor shoe of all time, with a heel that performs as well as Mad Rock's.
A huge fan of the Phantom LV, their go-to for overhung granite bouldering projects, though not great on plastic.
Their Phantom LVs have very narrow, shallow heels and are very aggressive and powerful, but also very stiff; they only wear them outdoors and don't find them versatile.
Breaking in the Phantom LV was very painful, with a bleeding pinky, but now they can wear it for a two-hour session before it starts to hurt.
Switched from women's Solutions to the Phantom LV for a wider toe box and was super happy: perfect toe box, the first heel that really wraps theirs, and precision hardly distinguishable from the Solutions.
After many shoes with loose heels, the Phantom LV fit like a glove and they've used them for years.
Phantom LVs are the only shoes that fit their heels perfectly, though the rubber isn't the stickiest and they're quite stiff before breaking in.
The Phantom LV fits their tiny heel; almost too small.
Moved to Phantom LVs from Drone CS LVs; brutal break-in but happy with fit and edging, and they don't stink.
Phantom LV has their favourite forefoot fit, but the heel is baggy.
