This is what other customers say:
These are my first laced climbing shoes and they're a perfect fit. Can adjust the thigtness really easy without loss of grip. I use them only for trad climbing, but would recommend this to anyone within bouldering, trad, sports & indoor. Good price - quality for a shoe that's in between beginner & hard.

I use it to warm up and multipitches. You can wear it all day without your feet suffering. Not the most technical shoe for overhangs and heel/toe hooks.

As a beginner shoe, it worked great, lasted long and was a decent shoe. But if you are at all past beginner level I would say go something else might be a better choice.
As a beginner shoe or a shoe for someone strictly with comfort in mind, I would recommend it.

I am currently starting a beginner climbing course with no prior experience whatsoever and I was wondering about sizing. Wouldn't be the same as with my other la sportiva shoes. I already owned two pairs of technical la sportiva boots (equilibrium and G-summit) both sized at 47.5 which are ok but on the loose side on my feet). Would I go about the same size on these as a beginner climber?
Hi sokratis,
With these shoe it would be suggested to opt for your normal street shoe size or a half size down for a more precise fit.

Got this as my first shoe. Have only been bouldering for 3 months and after trying a few rentals, this laced shoe fit my foot perfectly and adjusts very well. Would recommend.
