welcome to So iLL...
We started shaping holds in a Southern Illinois barn over two decades ago. The space has changed since then—now we’re in St. Louis, all 10 of us under one roof—but the heart of this place hasn’t. We’re still family-owned, self-financed, and hands-on with everything: design, photography, marketing, operations, logistics, packing…all happening just a few feet from each other.
Your support is what keeps this work moving. Thank you for for being part of what we're building.

Years of trial and error have led to hand shaped lasts that ensure premium performance and fit.
Conceptually, putting this hold on a keychain is hilarious. Very well made and perfect companion for any set of keys
Really love this shoe. The color is great, shoe itself is soft. Would definitely buy again and recommend it to others.
Purchased for my teenage grandson. Matches shoes and ski cap i previously purchased. He was extremely happy
Always fantastic products from the So Ill team! My kiddos will absolutely love the 2 charms we got them for gifts!
Very satisfied with what I got. Great variety of holds and families, even got a super size pipe hold! Will definitely buy another box when it’s available.
Love the bag and there was something in it for all of the family! Great Buy!! I would suggest it to anyone that is a So iLL Fan!! Very generous gift bag!!
I'm signed up for text alerts and received notification about this release ahead of time and had to purchase it immediately! It shipped later that same day and arrived about a day later and was more than worth the price: roll-top backpack, four shirts (including one limited release), two pairs of socks, and the lavender beanie I have been eyeing for a while. I am more than ready for my next roam!
The wife said I looked too good to go out without her! lol
super tacky, helps a lot
I dry fire off of *everything* and my skin is so, so dry. Super psyched to have this chalk! Especially looking forward to using it in Maple in summer, when the humidity gets down below 9%, I can't hold any of the cobbles, and stopping mid route to spray spit on my hands isn't really an option (til I fall off). This chalk will make climbing so much better on those days!
I love these shoes so much. I have them both in black and white. Super comfortable straight out the box and the quick lace system is a wonderful middle ground between laces and straps. I guarantee you will get asked about these shoes every time you wear them. I get compliments on how stylish they are all the time. They also perform really well. Super soft shoes with great sensitivity. My only real drawback is I think the rubber could be a bit stickier. Considering it's white rubber it's still pretty sticky and I can definitely smear pretty decently, but when I compare them to the black versions, I definitely feel more confident in the black rubber than the white rubber. Although both are super awesome shoes. I rave about them to everyone I meet. 1000% recommend
Awesome slopers! The texture is finger friendly. The holds and pinches are decent
Love it
I got these to help improve my heel hooks, since other shoes were too loose there. These solved that problem without sacrificing comfort in the toe-box. My street shoe size is 10.5 and these fit nicely in 11.
Was more juggy than expected but looks great on the wall and offers tons of creativity for setting.
