The upper of the shoe uses the Lock Harness System technology, which hugs the foot from the inside and uses the unique deep heel cups to ensure maximum flexibility when hooking on incuts, and overhangs. Finally the Fast Lacing System has the tongue elasticized which ensures optimal adjustment of the internal volume, keeping your foot in place as you aggressively use it on any problem you set your sights upon.

Comments about La Sportiva Solution Shoe:
I recently bought a second pair of these from Rock Creek after I split through the toe on the first pair. (The first pair lasted me 9 months of climbing 3-4 days a week indoors and several outdoor trips.) These shoes are nothing short of fantastic, albeit pricey. The fit is so perfect they make a sucking noise when I take them off/on. They are not very comfortable to walk in as they are very aggressive, but my feet never hurt or feel cramped while climbing. These are a dream for bouldering and allow me to feel confident putting weight on the tiniest holds. There is rubber on top of the foot which makes for great toe hooks/bat hangs, and the heel is also wrapped for confident heel hooks. The shoes are real leather which keeps odor to a minimum. (Unlike my STINKvolves, which smelled so bad my friends would make me strap them to the roof rack when driving home from the crag!)
For size comparison, I wear a men's 10 in loafers/dress shoes and a 42.5 (~9.5)in these. They were very difficult to put on at first but after a few uses they slide on without issue.

Comments about La Sportiva Solution Shoe:
Trust your feet. An old adage but simple endeavor with the La Sportiva Solution. I'm blown out of the water by it's precise fit (it wraps around your foot like a sock), superior edging and pulling power, and sticky rubber.

Comments about La Sportiva Solution Shoe:
Great shoe. Felt a little snug at first but after a few climbs it's perfect. Grabs walls and the flexibility of the shoe is unparalleled. Does great on rock or in the gym.

Comments about La Sportiva Solution Shoe:
Sizing will take trying on. I went 3 full sizes down and feel like they are AWESOME for hard overhanging bouldering and fat heel hooks. I have a wide forefoot, monkey toes, and a deep heel. These shoes (and LaSportiva in general) fit me awesome! They are true performance that are meant to bring the fury. They have helped my recent projecting significantly.
