Best beginner climbing shoes!

I already had a pair of these ones, loved them so much that bought another in a different color!

An average shoe that lacks durability

I have used these shoes for 2 months.

The feeling on the rock is below average, with the shoe starting to feel slippery on smaller pockets.

In terms of durability, it alre shows signs of wear on the leather above the sole

It's ok for first shoe but just that

Disadvantages
Not sturdy

Great shoes

Recommended for beginners. Sturdy construction, comfortably tight fit when fitted with AlpineTrek's fit guide. They seem durable. Only thing is sometimes don't feel as grippy as I'd like.
