"These shoes were my first ever climbing shoes. I bought them mainly for indoor climbing. They seem to be holding up just fine. The rubber has very good grip and seems to smear well. I love the easy on and off velcro straps. Overall a good beginner shoe and the cost is not too bad either."

"My first pair of climbing shoes. Great beginner shoes for limestone and granite alike and a good price. Decent performance on cracks (jams) and good durability. These lasted me 8 months using about 3-4 times/month. Just watch out for orange feet after initial use."

"These shoes were my first ever pair of climbing shoes, and I used them exclusively in the gym. They edged extremely well and smeared great when I got them, but three months later the rubber has almost no smearing power, and I can barely edge. Good thing is I can get them resoled."

"These shoes perform well in the gym. I have yet to try them on granite or limestone since I bought them. The price hooked me, however as with everything else in climbing, I should have spent a little more for a better product. Wouldn't recommend them for multi-pitch climbs, comfort level is only so-so."
