First pair of shoes

By John Fagan Ranked #326 - Climbing Shoes October 25, 2009

This is my first pair of shoes, and they do the job. I really did a lot of research before purchasing the shoes and this pair has solid reviews, so I went with these. The price is great comparaitively, and the rubber is insanely sticky. The one problem I'm noticing is that the rubber is very soft. We climb at the Red River Gorge, and the sand stone down there can really shred shoes up. Great for edging. With its stiff sole you can really put your weight on the toe, but if you use your toe a ton you may want a slightly harder rubber.
Great shoe over all and if you heel hook at all the mad rock heel design is where its at. If you loose a hook with these shoes then you might be doing something wrong.
I would definetely recommend this shoe for indoor climbers and outdoor climbers looking for the stickiest thing out there. remember though they are a soft rubber that might not last super long.
