Great first shoe

By ale3153573 Ranked #1309 - Climbing Shoes July 19, 2009

I just started climbing a couple of months ago and these are my first shoes. Ordering them online I was unable to size them but I ordered a size 11, and wear a street shoe size 11. They were snug at first but have stretched out a little bit. I would say go with a 1/2 size smaller than you typically wear.

They are the only shoe I have owned but they seem great so far. They are easy to smear in and great for edging. I haven't really run into anything that I feel could be solved with a different/better shoe.

They are easy to get in and out of, but it seems like the Velcro will wear out rather quickly.

One annoying thing is that the orange color of the shoes comes off on your feet after you get sweaty and climb for a while. Not a huge deal...

Overall I am very satisfied. I can't really testify as to how well they hold up, but I will update as soon as I know!
