Sizing Notes
For boots: Add one half size to your street shoe size. You should be able to slip one finger behind your heel when you are standing up with the boot unlaced and your toes touching the front. If the boot is too short, your toes will get smashed walking downhill. Too long and your heel will slide up and down and give you blisters.

Beginners Shoe

I bought these about a week ago, they are my first pair of shoes and I will be writing from the point of view of moving from rentals to this shoe.
Using rentals my feet would slip off of holds rather often, I was never confident in my feet, my arms would always kill me after climbing. Since purchasing these shoes I have been able to smear, wall walk, and I have gained a great amount of confidence in my feet. Yes these do stain your feet red a bit, but for the price and the fit, I believe it is worth it.
As far as sizing goes, I wear a 12 in street shoes and those are a comfortable, snug fit at size 12 as well.
Overall this is the best $100 I have spent this year, yes it would be nice if the dye stayed fully on the shoe and not on my feet, but I will deal, after a climb I usually need to take a shower anyways.

First Timer w/ Red Feet

The first thing you NEED to know is your feet will be dyed RED, like a lot. So if that is a big enough turn off, then look for something else. Most of the dye comes off in the shower, with a little scrubbing but my feet are always a little red.
Also a need to know, these do stretch a bit. I wish I had gone with a 1/2 size smaller than I did. The REI rep said they shouldn't stretch much but alas.
I am brand new to climbing, so other than that info I'm not much help. They do seem less grippy than other's shoes, but that could be technique or lack there of.
I have only climbed in the gym so far. I go 2-3 times per week. If I were buying shoes again I would go with a different shoe. Not to say these are bad, just I would try something different next time.

Great shoe for edging. Flexable, but a little soft on arch thus hurts when standing on jagged rock. Durable, but not a sticky shoe for smearing. Love the lace as is gives me an assured fit, but beware of over tightening. Used on Smith Rock and Meadow Camp and did well.

Great Rock Shoes, not just for beginner.

I hate that these shoes are totally marketed to beginners. They are what they are, but they arent just a beginner shoe. They are first and foremost a comfort shoe. Beyond that though, Id say they compare to any other flat lasted climbing shoe out there. Ive worn 5.10 VCS, Evovl Luchador and some older big wall shoes no one has heard of. These Nago's edge great, have some really sticky rubber and they break in/ fit quickly! I wouldnt hesitate to recommend this shoe to an advanced climbed looking for a more comfort on trad and multipitch routes, or for less steep sport climbing. Then again Sharma used to send 5.14 in flat shoes back in the day... SO maybe its good for everything.

Great First Shoe

This is really a great first shoe. It will stretch, so size down as much as you feel like you can without being miserable. Mine lasted me a solid 9 months (which isn't bad starting out, as you're guaranteed to go through your first pair with sloppy footwork). They've stretched a bit much for me now, so I just ordered my next pair. They do fine for edging, and decent enough for smearing after you've broken them in. They'll also be plenty comfortable, which is a big plus when starting out. They'll get you through that first few months when you're figuring out technique and "fine-tuning" your footwork. They do fine indoor or out.

I primarily climb in NW Washington (N. Cascades, Leavenworth) and I love these shoes. Wore them on 9 pitches climbing North Early Winter Spire last weekend and couldn't be happier with how they performed. Be sure to try them on to find your size because mine are about 2 full sizes smaller than street shoes and I don't wear climbing shoes super tight. I absolutely loved the performance of these shoes and my feet weren't killing me at the end of the day. If your worried about the fact that they color your feet red until your next shower, you probably need to find a new hobby anyway.

Excellent gym shoe
11 years ago
This is my second pair of rock shoes so take my enthusiasm with a grain of salt.I found these shoes to be close to perfect. They were used exclusively in the gym, 2-4 times a week and lasted an entire year! The stickiness of the shoe was poor for the first couple of climbs but as they broke in they stuck like glue. The pointed tips did well for toeing. Smearing and edging I felt very confident. The heel hook is a little week for tricky bouldering situations but for trad. climbing its great

Good beginner show

These are a great beginner shoe. I bought them about two years ago and have put some decent wear on them. They work decently in lots of different climbing conditions. I've used them on crack, face, overhung, and slab. They didn't work particularly amazing on any of them, but they held their own. The main reason I do not like these shoes is because of their color. For some reason the red dye of the shoe stained my feet every time I wore them. This did not stop after a few weeks of use like I had hoped. If you usually go barefoot in your shoes you may want to consider throwing on a pair of dark socks when wearing these.

Indoor review

So I loved these shoes at first. I was climbing v3 when I first got them. Once I broke them in it was all down hill. My feet tend to sweat alot and that added to the non stoppable stretching. At first I was toeing like a champ and loved the fact I could feel the hold through the sole. Last night I was climbing a v6 and kept slipping and slipping of the dime sized hold. I went and put my scarp vapors on and nailed not only the hold but I sent the route. Great first time shoe if you size down like 1 1/2 sizes like I did. But eventually they will burn out quick. I rec these to people who just climb for fun every now and then. But if ur serious skip to muira or vapors.

Good feel, terrible build quality

I've now owned 3 pairs of these. The first pair lasted 6 months, then I pulled the tong out... it just came off as I was lacing it up. The second pair fell apart with the sole pulling away from the leather after only 2 weeks. The third pair suffered the same fate within a month. They were good shoes, but the quality scared me away, and I traded up for a pair of Mythos which are treating me very well. They are a little more money, but well worth the cost. All that said, I have several friends that climb in these and have had no issues. Also, heed the advice of others if you get these shoes, the stretch a lot.
