Loves their Shaman Pros, but the closure pulls the velcro tab to the inside and their foot has yanked it open several times.

Sized the Shaman Pro half up from their Shaman Velcro: much better heel, slightly narrower toebox, a bit softer with more claw in the toe.
Really likes Shamans, especially the Pros for their deeper heel; the closure is a bit fiddly.
Their Shaman Pros fit snug with no pain or hot spots and climb 50 minutes without coming off, but they're really hard to get into.
Their downsized Shaman Pros are pretty comfy once broken in compared with most aggressive shoes; they stretch about half a US size.
Just bought Shaman Pros and loves their fit, but finds them quite stiff for modern indoor climbing.
Their try-hard Shaman Pro fits with no air space, is great for delicate footwork, overhangs and toe hooks indoors and out, though tight at first with a stiff toe patch.
The Shaman Pro never moulded to their foot after three sessions, and they hated how the forefoot flexed under pressure on slab.
Their Shaman Pro (resoled once) feels like a good in-between of the regular Shaman and the stiffer Shaman Lace, with a tighter closure.
Finds the Shaman Pro best for roped gym climbing from vertical to very steep, though not great for smearing and the rubber feels a bit soft outdoors.
Really likes the Evolv Shaman Pro.
Has a great fit in their Evolv Shaman Pro.
Bought the Shaman Pro for outdoor climbing: painful break-in, no standout performance, softened enough for indoors but too stiff for them (3/5).
Ordered Shaman Pros in street size and they were too tight; the vegan upper doesn't stretch and no break-in trick made them comfortable.
The Shaman Pro fits them like a glove.
Bought Shaman Pros in street size and they wore ridiculously small; feet hurt every time.
Recommends the Shaman Pro they wear for wide feet.
Finds the toe box of their Shaman Pro extremely cramped and is considering stretching it.
Recently got the Shaman Pro for their wide feet and is loving it.
