I used tarantula for 11 month, indoor and boulder, outdoor multipitch. I would reccomend to buy at least half a size smaller, since it is getting wider.
The shoe is a comfortable type.

Very comfortable shoe, a bit too comfortable. Unfortunately the shoe has stretched a bit too much after couple of months of regular climbing and became too loose. I can fit my 2no fingers to the back of the heel by this point of having the shoes for over a year.
My own fault for not doing research on the shoe materials though!
So if I was buying it again - I'd get a size smaller.
That's the only reason why I am giving it 3 stars and not 5.... Because they are not usable any more unless I am on easy Trad ledges and not on slabs / smearing... Or warm up routes.
Other than that - it is what's written on a tin. Versatile, comfortable, non-agressive shoe. Perfect for beginners.
