"The Cruiser was built from the ground up with comfort in mind. This is not a stripped-down version of a high-end model. It is packed with features that make it super comfortable without sacrificing climbing performance. For starters, the construction is unique.

The heel has a thin, cushy EVA wedge covered by a slightly lugged Gryptoniteâ„¢ outsole for extra traction on descents and when you are cruising around on gravelly ledges. The tension on your heel is easily adjustable with a simple buckle system that allows you to tighten or loosen the shoe while climbing.

"I've used this shoe for 2 years.

This shoe has the following flaws:

- The sole separates from the rand soon after the first uses where you edge (toe/side), compromising it's edging and durability. A true design flaw, because I had a few pairs and all did that."

"This is a great shoe that I would recommend to just about anybody that is looking for a solid shoe that is going to take a beating. This shoe has an awesome sole with incredible grip. Along with being incredibly durable I was very surprised the first time I put these shoes on because they were very comfortable."

"These are not a beginner shoe though a beginner can use them. And you don't always need to climb with toes curled!

It is very comfortable, and perfect for crack climbing and walks offs. It is decent for face, though for plastic crimp-climbing you'll prefer slippers or Anassazi's -with toes curled- and for bouldering some extreme arch shoes."

"These shoes were my first (I'm on my third pair). The low price and comfort probably allowed me to get pretty far as a beginner climber in a short amount of time. I wore them 5+ times a week all summer. Because of how well they fit, I will actually get them resoled and keep them around as my second pair."

"The Cruiser: a beginner shoe which condemns you to being a beginner for as long as they last. This shoe is supposedly all about comfort, but their philosophy in constructing this shoe contradicts one of the most important guidelines for climbing shoes: wear them tight, with your toes curled."
