Not Worth It 1 out of 5 stars

Review by: kevinheiss, 2007-03-30


I have these shoes and they really were not worth it. After using them twice a week for 5 months both indoors and outdoors, the velcro won't stick anymore. the rubber is almost all gone and there is even a hole in my shoe where the knuckle of my second toe.
Also I find the back of the shoe is too big, really isn't made for a snug fit, especially for those with a small heel. I couldn't even do a heel hook without my shoe coming off which is really bad. I even tighten my shoe as much as I could and it still do anything.
These were not worth it at all unless you are just getting into climbing and aren't sure if you will like it. That is the only reason why I would buy them.
