Great first pair!

I got these as my first pair of climbing shoes. I tried on a lot and these were snug without any pressure points but at the same time they were touching my feet and toes everywhere like socks. I've been climbing now in them for about a month at 3 times a week mostly indoors and a couple times outdoors. They were amazing outside! As they stretch you can just lace them up tighter so they're great. I think they're more comfortable than a lot of other climbing shoes and I may get some more hard core ones later this summer. I don't have to pull my heals out till after about 2 hours of climbing in the gym. They do make your feet very very red for a long time though...and then your feet turn your socks red after so be aware of that. We laughed so hard the first time I took them off and saw my tye-die feet.

Update on my review a year ago...I'm still climbing in these! Since then I've updated to some classy Mythos and an agressive bouldering shoe but when I want a nice relaxed day of care free fun climbing without any pain I still put on my old red shoes. The rubber on them can't be beat and when I'm climbing cracks in them I never find myself thinking about let alone second guessing how secure my feet are. I almost always take them along as backup and they have never let me down.
