Zero= best shoe I have tried so far. *by A***D on Reviewed in the United States on February 19, 2019* Ive been climbing for 2 years on and off because of university, but decided to take ir seriously now that I finally graduated. Ordered the New Zero and the Free range LV, as a gift to myself. So I'll talk about both. After reading the reviews I decided to go with Soill's recommended size, as I'm a 9 street shoe I went with 10.5 for the Zero's and 12 in the Free Range LV's. The Zero's fit what spot on. My toes are curled in front, but not so much that it hurts my beginner fattish feet. The heel cup it's just perfect for my foot shape. No slipping, the Dark Matter rubber is pure bliss. I just wish they had the same easy opening that the LV's have. On the other hand, once you have them on they feel like a glove, much more secure feeling than the LV's. But they do need a need a little more work to get on. I have used them for bouldering and outdoor climbing at least once a week for a month and they seem to be holding up pretty well. On the LV's I also went with the suggested size, so I ordered size 12 for my 9 street shoe. Beautiful color, Great fit in the front, not so much in the back. Love the easy access, but the shoe leaves some dead space in the bottom of my heel. My toes are curled in front, but the heel seems to slip a little. I figured half a size down from the three sizes up recommended for beginner-intermediate climber should have avoided that, but I failed to notice that the first time I tried them on, and only noticed it the first time I tried them on outside. Because of it I can't send them back. Overall a great shoe, the rubber is too good, but make sure you try them on on at least two sizes to get the right fit. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Great Climbing Shoes! *by D***D on Reviewed in the United States on January 24, 2019* The aesthetic style of these climbing shoes are what convinced me to buy them. Taking a chance on an unknown name brand that is fairly new is not so reassuring, but after much research and reviews from others, I was convinced to buy them. There are many other great brands of shoes out there, which have been around longer and have proven themselves to be great climbing shoes such as La Sportiva, Evolv, Scarpa, etc, but none of those brands have the same aesthetics and style of these So ILL shoes. The pricing is still a bit on the high side, but it is still competitive with the pricing of the high end shoes of other brands which I've listed, that are around $125-$140. Listening to the fit advice video from SO ILL, going up a size from my street shoes, they fit me perfectly and I was quite surprised with the quality of the material of the shoes. They have excellent grip with the dark matter material on the toe box and the back of the heel. They feel super sticky right out of the box and help with smearing and super small footholds! I have climbed with them for several weeks now, but I will have to see how long they hold up after months of use, but for now I would definitely recommend them to anyone who is on the fence about buying these shoes, but also want to take style into consideration. The style and color of the shoes were just as important to me as the fit and function and these shoes totally nailed it! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars New zero shoe *by I***V on Reviewed in the United States on March 6, 2020* These shoes look amazing and feel really good on my feet, I did have issues finding a size but eventually found the right size lol there sizing chart is on point well for me it was (even though I didn’t think it would ) thanks to the seller Outland USA for providing help with returns --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/106293894-so-illthe-new-zero](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/106293894-so-illthe-new-zero) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-06-11*
