I am very new to bouldering, so I was looking for shoes in the lower price range. These fit my budget, but it was hard to find my exact size. A smaller size was tight and uncomfortable, while the ones I have now (half size larger) fit comfortably when I walk, but have a little give when I climb, making me feel less confident on more difficult routes. It is also annoying to have to tighten them or tie the laces every so often. Overall, not too bad.

I bought these about about 6 months ago after I decided to get back into climbing. Overall it is a great beginner shoe that holds up well for most types of climbing. As others have mentioned they aren't the greatest for overhanging routes or very tight for work, but do fine on most intermediate gym routes and I found hold up pretty well on limestone, rhyolite, and basalt.That being said these are darn comfortable climbing shoes. I've worn them for half day gym sessions with no discomfort (including keeping them on while belaying) and on multi pitch climbs where they have held up well. If you are a beginner, it is definitely worth sacrificing some technical performance for comfort.They do stretch a tiny bit and I did size down a bit (7.5 street shoe and 5 ... MoreI bought these about about 6 months ago after I decided to get back into climbing.

While I probably will upgrade to something more agressive, these are great introductory shoes.

These were my first climbing shoes. I bought them a year ago and used them every single day. They're really comfortable to wear for wide feet. I'm a women's size 10 and wear 42s.This could be due to lots of wear and maybe not good technique at first, but the toe rubber wore out to the point that there's a hole in the shoe, and I can see the blue material next to it.I would recommend these for someone who wants a show they aren't using daily or if are just trying out climbing shoes.
