good starter shoe

By ncj86 Ranked #1006 - Climbing Shoes March 31, 2010

This was my first pair of climbing shoes and they served me well for a year. I ended up replacing them after some full days of climbing because the heel cup was too big for my feet, resulting in lots of movement and blisters (yuck). However, they were sufficiently sticky to allow me to smear effectively (edging was more difficult, but probably because they were too wide for my feet) and they jammed as well as I could. Overall, a good beginner shoe, particularly for the price.
