I have been wearing the 5.10 Anasazi for years, its been my go to shoe for a lot of projects. I got these for several different reasons:
1) I knew that I was not going to be getting on a lot of rock this summer and I wanted a price point shoe for the gym and for the off change that I did get outside.
2) This is the male version of the Electra which I have thought to be one of the best designed pair of shoes on the market.
3) The are really similar in style to the Anasazi

Now these are the most true to size shoe I have ever put on. Wearing an 8.5 street shoe I almost always size my climbing shoe down, these are the first pair where I feel perfect in a true 8.5. The are a little stiffer that what I am used to but all around I think these shoes have done well for my summer in the gym.

Bottom line, this is the best shoe on the market for a beginner climber.
