This is not a great or a bad shoe. I got mine for [$], and I can't argue with that price. They are fine for me now, as I am starting to climb by using my indoor membership, so i climb indoor frequently. I have a wide size 9 foot, and the toe box fits perfectly. i tried on several shoes, and this one fit me the best, so i'm glad it is discounted. the colour does bleed a bit at first, but the shoe looks real nice, and i can wear it for hours without being uncomfortable. like any shoe, though, try before you buy if you can.

I have had this shoe for a little more than a year.It definately stretches so don't be afraid to get a size that feels a little snug initially. I try to get out at least once a weekend but average 3-4 times a month. It's cheap and does the job and the sole is thick so for new climbers who will be clambering about it will hold up until you get decent footwork and need a better pair. Cons- the rubber does not bite for long and the sole has already separated from the shoe.

I bought these about 5 months ago as a first pair of climbing shoes since I was getting tired of renting from the gym. They are very comfortable and are great for hanging around at the gym for a few hours. The rubber started out very sticky but I have noticed they are losing it and starting to wear. They are a great beginner shoe if you are staying under 5.8+/V3- but on more difficult routes, they shoes won't hold well. If you are looking for a good beginner shoe, the Cliff and the FiveTen Coyote are both great shoes.

I first tried a par of these in a size 43 and they were way too tight. I heard that they ran small However, on a different occation I tried a 43 (con: inconsistant with sizing/if purchasing try them on) and they were huge so i ended up purchasing a 41.5. They were very tight and took a while to break in, but once they were they are my favorite shoes. They are supper conforatable, and non aggressive so not the best for bouldering or steep overhung routes, but I find them to be fantastic at edging and good with smears. [...]

to be honest, they aren't the most comfortable shoes I've ever climbed in. they are pretty high in the back which really rubbed the first couple of times I've used them. I"m hoping as I break them in more it will be more bearable.
They were very true to size, I purchased another pair before this one and had to send them back b/c of how small they ran. That was not a problem with these.
GREAT price though.

This shoe is really rugged it will wear for a long time and has a large toe box that makes them comfortable for extended climing. The downside is that they aren't an aggressive climbing shoe.

This shoe is very comfortable once broken in, making it ideal for long trad climbing days. It's a lace up thus it wraps your feet well. The rubber is very durable, it doesn't wear out as quickly as some of the other shoes (mad rock phoenix) I tried. I would not recommend it for sport climbing or bouldering though.
