La Sportiva Cliff Rock Climbing Shoe

By Ranked #1766 - Climbing Shoes March 3, 2005

I climb at least three times a week and started with these shoes. I would say they were fair starter shoes, but nothing more. I solo/free climb only, and the false sense of security they provide is not something I need. They were simply too stiff but I guess for those with soft feet they would be perfect. Just use ropes (as if you were crazy) because your hold may be more of shoe than rock. They wore down really quick for such thick shoes, but that may have been due to my excessive use and abuse. One decent thing I can say for them is they took me up my first 5.11. That has to say something.
