Stonelands Slippers, Anyone have opinons on them?

Thinking about picking up a pair of Stonelands slippers, just want to get people's opinions on them, how they climb, how they fit, etc. Everything I read has said to size them a half size bigger than my Anasazi VCS's, so I'm thinking size 10 as opposed to 9.5.

I just picked up a pair of stoneland vcs's the other day. Essentially the same shoe but with velcro and a slightly softer sole. I wear a 10 street shoe and decided to go with a 10 stoneland. Tried them on and they fit pretty comfortably right out of the box.

I'll report back in a week or two once I've used them a bit! A buddy has the slippers and loves them.

Awesome! Thanks, let me know how they are. I assume the last fitment on the slipper and VCS should be the same. Did your buddy downsize them at all or did he get his street size?

They are sweet but size em down, they stretch a bunch.

Ahh see, that's what I was worried about. I don't want to have them become super sloppy, but I don't want them to be so tight I can't use them for cracks. Even being lined they stretched that much?

They did, but I do like my shoes pretty tight, maybe a half size stretch.

Well I wear my Anasazi VCS's pretty tight, toes are pretty knuckled out. I have my Newtons sized at 10 and they fit nice and comfy but not sloppy. Kind of thinking that how I want the slippers to fit.

Yea maybe a half to a full size down. I really liked em nice and stiff and pretty comfy but the stretch happened and I can use em really any more.

I've been stuffing my foot into a tight fitted miura for a year on trad so pretty much anything feels more comfortable than that. I imagine a half size down would work just fine!

I have a pair of the lace-ups and my climbing partner has the slippers. As far as how they climb - they were the shoe I wore exclusively on a 5 month climbing trip where I was climbing everything from trad, sport, single pitch, multi pitch, face, crack and slab. They are stiff enough for smaller edging but still soft and comfy for slab routes and the fit is relaxed enough to keep on for 6+ pitches. I really think they are one of the best shoes I have worn recently, and you wouldn't be disappointed.

I can't speak on the fit since the lace ups are not leather like the slippers are so mine didn't change much in fit.

My two cents!

Yea I'm just hesitant because I had Anasazi's in a size 10 and they felt great until about 30 minutes into climbing with them in the gym, then they became way too sloppy. have them now in a 9.5 and they have been great. Just don't want to make that mistake again.

Patrick, that's awesome to hear they are a great performing shoe. Definitely think I need to pick up a pair, just need to get the sizing figured out. Plus, everyone needs a pair of slippers in their shoe quiver, right?

Well I just opted to order them in both sizes and see which one I like better. At $43 a pair it's not so bad

I have high volume and wide feet. I sized my mocs down 1/2 and VCS 1/2. But these I had to go with street size. And they are still very painful. Will try them out tonight at the gym and find out if they stretch or not.

Sizing: I wear 10.5 street shoe, medium width, and for a reasonably comfortable fit wear mocs in 10.5, TC pros in 42.5.

Stonelands fit quite small for sure. I wanted a little more performance fit so ordered 10 and 10.5 from Amazon, and even the 10.5 is significantly too small. These are going back and 11 is on order.

A little late to the discussion, but here's a review I wrote a few months ago:

One short session at the gym and they already slip on a lot easier than out of the box. Very stiff shoe compared to Moc and the VCS. Might not be a great desert slipper as I had hoped. Still for $43, these were cheaper than the Evolv Defy beater gym shoes I got a few months ago so I will keep breaking them in and maybe take them outside one day.
