The REI Member Dividend
The REI dividend is a unique benefit of membership in the REI co-op. It's comprised of your member refund—typically 10% back on eligible purchases—and/or your REI Visa® card rebates.
Each March, active REI members and REI Visa cardholders who earned a rebate receive a refund in the form of an annual dividend notice.
Only active members receive annual dividend notices. To maintain your active status as an REI member, you need to make net merchandise or shipping purchases of at least $10 per year, unless you joined that year. Member numbers are issued in one name and only that person receives the member refund. Your number can be used by others in your family, but it cannot be transferred to someone else.

Rising to the task, the Phoenix is a rebirth of the classic rock shoe from Mad Rock®. Performs admirably on cracks, multi-pitch and trad routes.
- Slip-lasted construction for rock sensitivity underfoot; generous toe box reduces pressure on the toes
- 3D molded heel cup is shaped to eliminate slippage and is treaded for effective heel hooking capabilities
- Compressed polyester fiber midsoles are flexible and supportive to help reduce fatigue on longer routes
- To-the-toe lacing and double pull-on loops provide ease of entry and an adjustable fit; bound collars add comfort around ankles
- Ultrasuede leather uppers with padded tongues relieve lace pressure; unlined to conform to foot shape more easily
- Sticky, Science Friction FX5 rubber blends just the right amount of friction with lasting durability; treaded heels also aid on descents off the top
Imported.

Comments about Mad Rock Phoenix Rock Shoes:
Bought these shoes because they are the cost of a re-sole and I didn't want to be shoeless while I waited for my shoes to be repaired. They are a fine shoe for a first timer or a very affordable option for someone in the same situation and can't wait on a re-sole. Though they aren't very sensitive nor do they fit the heel that well they are a fine shoe for casual climbing. I personally can't wait for my re-sole.

Comments about Mad Rock Phoenix Rock Shoes:
Bought these for doing some recreational climbing with the kids who are on the local climbing team. Use them indoors at the gym and on our home wall. Very grippy and much better than gym shoes. Bought them about a size small from street shoes and they fit well even after break in. Have used almost daily for about a month. Worth going to the store to get the fit right.

Comments about Mad Rock Phoenix Rock Shoes:
I think as a beginner these shoes fulfill all my needs; plus you can't beat the price. I have, however, been told that the rubber wears faster than some of the more expensive shoes.

Comments about Mad Rock Phoenix Rock Shoes:
These shoes are definitely the way to go for a beginning climber. If your just starting out these super sticky shoes are perfect. You won't break the bank getting started, and you'll have a decent shoe to see if this is the sport for you.
That being said, I wore these shoes out pretty quickly. They were my first pair, and they got abused pretty badly with all the newbie slipping and sliding about. The science friction rubber is the softest (i.e. stickiest) i've ever worn and gave me a (much needed) boost in confidence on my first few leads.
They were comfortable enough that I could wear them all day; and I did, including wearing them on approach (a big no-no btw). Good shoes for the price, I just bought a some for my brother-in-law, so they will be his first too.

Comments about Mad Rock Phoenix Rock Shoes:
I climb a couple times a week and these shoes have been working perfectly. They are really sticky and are able to hold to the wall a lot better than other shoes I have tried. They are uncomfortable at first but my feet got used to them, I guess it is what your comfortable with.

Comments about Mad Rock Phoenix Rock Shoes:
I used these for months without any problems indoor. The issue was once I took them outdoors, I have to blame a factory "lemon" for my problem as I have never seen nor has anyone else I climbed with a tear like I encountered on the leather.
One my first outdoor climb with these I tore a 4" hole on the instep of the right shoe. I have purchased other Mad Rock shoes and they are a quality brand. But as a salesperson and a consumer I feel all information should be available.
Remember this will NOT be the norm, but I did encounter this.

Comments about Mad Rock Phoenix Rock Shoes:
great shoes for the beginner. I love to climb and this is the first pair of shoes i have purchased. They were the best price I could find anywhere and they have been working great for me. I will be using them until they are completely worn out before i consider buying anything else. They fit well and I can wear then for near an hour before I feel the need to let my feet rest. They are not as aggressive as some shoes, but they work well for all the climbing needs I have.

Comments about Mad Rock Phoenix Rock Shoes:
these shoes were great at first for my first pair of climbing shoes, but as time went on comfort dropped more and more. They have got to the point to where they are almost painful to wear. For me, they lasted for about 6 months before I had to get new ones

Comments about Mad Rock Phoenix Rock Shoes:
I am a beginning climber. I have now been out climbing four times. I just climbed a 5.10b with the shoes and they worked fine. I find they are great for learning to climb because they are priced right and fit well. I assume they don't have the stickiest compound for the sole but it seems like it will hold up to a bit of poor foot work abuse.
