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.

Straight out of the box impressed with the rare red/black colour scheme. Lots of people asking about them in the Gym!
Uncomfortable first climb as expected as sized down, but quickly stretched to fit and a good fit now.
Would recommend!
