Great first pair

By mlamkin82143651 Ranked #140 - Climbing Shoes August 30, 2008

These are the first rock climbing shoes I've ever purchased and have thus far been great! I've been climbing in them two to four times a week at a climbing gym for a couple weeks now and I have no real complaints about this pair. They seem to grip well, even on very tiny footholds. I gave them three stars only because I have little experience with other shoes to reference them with. I bought an 11.5 (US) which is generally the same as my street shoe size and they seem to be working well. I MIGHT go a 1/2 size smaller as they may stretch and the heel might be a bit big, but as is they are comfortable enough that I don't bother taking them on and off in the gym.
