Decent shoe for climbers who are just getting started, but if you're heading into more difficult routes, definitely upgrade to something a little more aggressive.

Personally, I've never been a fan of shoes with ridging on the heel, it's more gimmicky than effective. The rubber grips ok, but they lose the edge pretty fast, especially in a gym. They're near impossible to climb cracks in, as the lacing extends extremely far down the toe of the shoe.

Pros:
• Price
• Adjustable

Cons:
• Wear out pretty fast
• Far from aggressive
• Weird heel
• Not great for edging
• Not good in cracks

Note: These shoes will stretch out substantially as you break them in.

I have nothing to complain about with these shoes. They are best for climbing in the gym, but are still great for climbing outside. They are very comfortable, the rubber is very grippy. I have tried several different styles and brands of shoes but these are my favs.

Great Shoe. Though not sensitive, it works well in a gym setting. Enjoyable and comfortable to wear. I owned Five Ten Coyotes before, and these are a lot better than those shoes.

Great shoe if your feet are misshapen at all or if you want a custom fit. The first time I used them they were digging in, I pulled laces out and then rethreaded them with my foot inside- fit great! and equal pressure along your foot.

The rubber compound is pretty good

I just wish they had a sharper toe tip, find myself slipping on little crimpers a lot.

I love these shoes. They feel great on my feet and after getting on the wall it was even better.
For being my first set of shoes to own I am very happy with them and I am pumped to go climb every time I put them on.

We are beginning climbers and these are much better than the rental shoes. Plus, these were available at our local REI, so we could try them out before we bought them (for much less here).
They were a little stiff at first, but loosed up after a few climbs. I have not noticed any stretching to the point that they are not comfortable or tight enough.

This was my first pair of climbing shoes and they served me well for a year. I ended up replacing them after some full days of climbing because the heel cup was too big for my feet, resulting in lots of movement and blisters (yuck). However, they were sufficiently sticky to allow me to smear effectively (edging was more difficult, but probably because they were too wide for my feet) and they jammed as well as I could. Overall, a good beginner shoe, particularly for the price.
