Beginner, Really?

By Old Greg Ranked #1490 - Climbing Shoes February 25, 2009

I missed the memo that said rubber and leather performed at various levels. Beginner I think not, good climbing technique can make these shoes work just as well as shoes twice the price. Great shoe for a smoking price. Oh yeah, if you think your shoes are too tight, your probably wrong, get the next size smaller, wear them somewhere that you can sweat them up and stretch them out. Not just on the couch, actually climbing works best. Remember, pain don't hurt! I wear a size 11.5 running shoe, 7.5 La Sportiva. They might be uncomfortable at first, but once they stretch its all worth it. People that believe a shoe like this can't perform very well for anything are wrong.
