Great shoe!
Yes , I recommend this product
As a beginner climber, I wanted to get some good shoes but didn’t really know where to start. I am really glad I chose these because as someone with a wider toe box, these are really good for me. I did get my shoes at roughly 1.5 sizes smaller and this worked out really well for me. These shoes are nice and grippy and I personally like the lace a lot because it makes me feel like I have finer control over the fit of the shoe. The only thing that was pretty uncomfortable for a while was the fabric near the heel - it was pretty tight until I wore the shoes in. Now they’re super duper comfortable. Definitely recommend this shoe if you’re just starting out!

I love these shoes! They’re so comfortable (once you break them in of course lol) and grippy on the wall. Really glad I got these for my first climbing shoes.
