ok, i know this is probably a lame question, but i'm interested in starting to climb. with the holliday season pressing in i asked my really good friend what a good starter shoe would be and he came back with these. anyone have verification to this, and if he's wrong what would be a better alternative?

These are super aggresive, if you're not into more technical stuff, then shy away. Don't get me wrong, this is an amazing shoe, but it may be more than what you're looking for.

I think your friend is playing a joke on you (or your playing a joke on me and I'm falling for it). The Booster is about as far as you can get from a beginner shoe. I would recommend your first shoe should be something flat lasted like the Thunder, Veloce or Force. Try on as many as you can and pick the one that fits the best.
