| Like a tight glove.March 17, 2017 Tight climbing shoes for harder routes. Fits snug on your feet, but don't walk around in them... they will hurt. We're not like PRO CLIMBING EXPERTSFebruary 13, 2017 I got these for my partner and he really likes them. The DVD was missing, but we probably wouldn't have watched it anyway and I didn't care that it wasn't included. We're not like PRO CLIMBING EXPERTS, and the shoes are good for what we need, and they're affordable as far as climbing shoes go. I like the design on the side, too. He's worn them a few times and they're breaking in well and seem to be holding up okay so far, but they're still fairly new to us. AwesomeAugust 12, 2016 Great shoes. I've been using the rental shoes at my climbing gym but I figured if I was going to get serious about climbing then I'd have to buy my own shoes at some point. These have held up to everything I've done for a little over a month so far with no sign of breaking down. My climbing level is around v4-v6 for what it's worth. Newer to Climbing, liked the shoeNovember 21, 2014 I am normally a women's street shoe size 10. My foot is slightly narrow and has some spurring at the heel/achilles, but the shoe is great for my foot type and has no slipping or excess pressure points. I have the men's size 8. With a dozen of climbs in, the shoes have slightly stretched to a comfortable shape but no loosening. Would buy this style again most likely Excellent starter shoeFebruary 2, 2013 These were my first pair of climbing shoes. They fit true to size and immediately helped my climbing (compared to the rental shoes). They have a nice strong edge to help you stay on the small chip size foot holds and have a very grippy heel for heel hooking. I used these 3 days a week for 6 months before buying a new pair. I still use these sometimes if I'm going to top rop because they're more comfortable for long term wear. I have a pair of more agressive shoes that I use for bouldering now but I have to take them off after 20 minutes or so because they start to hurt. I recommend these as a good starter shoe. | | | | |

| Order 1 size smallerFebruary 1, 2017 I normally wear a 9.5 street shoe. I ordered these in a size 10 and they were to large. Meaning they fit comfortably with zero toe curling. A size 9 would have likely fit me perfectly. Other than that I really like the shoes very comfortable all around and felt solid.
The image compares the Rockmaster to the Red point, both are size 10. The Rockmaster was a size to large and the Redpoint was at least 1.5 sizes to small. ... getting started climbing in gym but shoe is fairly comfortable provides good gripSeptember 14, 2016 has worked good for me in gyms and short sport climbs.not very good at smearing on slabs idk good gym shoe I guess Too small, good feelSeptember 2, 2016 Great design and material, i am a size 11, i got 11.5 to be careful. They were still too tight, i recommend going one full size bigger An excellent gym shoe and a good shoe for a climber ...May 16, 2016 An excellent gym shoe and a good shoe for a climber first getting into the sport. I climbed on mine three times a week for 3 years and the rubber held up. Some of my friends Scarpa shoes lasted for only a fraction of the duration of these shoes.
A very thick and ribbed heel allows for heel hooking. Great beginner shoeJuly 10, 2014 Some others have already said that this is a great beginner shoe and I completely agree with them. I was just looking for a cheap climbing shoe to get started and explore my interests a bit in this one does the job nicely. They run a little small (smaller than my street shoe) compared to some other shoes like evolv. I wear an 11 in the evolv shoes at my climbing gym but only a 9.5 in these. I actually recommend buying a couple sizes and just returning the ones that don't fit to save yourself some time and headache. Amazon has free returns on all apparel items, so it's just the hassle of printing the label and dropping off at UPS that you have to deal with. As long as you don't mind "spending" a bit extra up front, I'd recommend it since it's hard to predict this shoe's size.
My only complaint, and perhaps this is just because I'm a beginner, is that the heels aren't padded or soft at all so I rubbed my heels raw after climbing for about 3 hours in these barefoot. Perhaps this is just what happens and you always need to use moleskin or maybe your feet just adjust over time, but that was a pretty painful problem for me that perhaps the shoe could have prevented (my laces were tight and fit was tight too). That's the only reason I'm giving this 4 stars instead of 5.
I would highly recommend this shoe to beginners and people who just want something cheap that will take you a huge step up from using a street shoe. | | | | |

| Shoes are good quality and what I needed but run smallFebruary 17, 2017 Shoes are good quality and what I needed but run small. Typically I wear a 6-6.5 but these fit more like a 5.5-6. Too small...recommend buying up a size. I returned these shoes because they were FAR TOO SMALL ...September 19, 2016 I returned these shoes because they were FAR TOO SMALL. I normally wear a 7.5 women's shoe. I have a pair of 7-1/4 climbing shoes and they were too aggressive for the climbing I was doing so I wanted another pair, but these weren't the pair I needed. Good but defect.May 12, 2016 I loved the shoes. Fit great, felt great, but the pair I bought had a defect in the leather and ripped after 3 days. Return was processed and accepted, will likely give them another shot. these will do just fine. They aren't super expensive like other climbing shoesJanuary 31, 2015 For a first time shoe or a first time climber, these will do just fine. They aren't super expensive like other climbing shoes, but they also aren't the greatest shoes.
First of all, if you order them, make sure you have the right size. Try them on in an outlet store first and then buy them here where it's cheaper. I ordered my size and they are still a little uncomfortable and tight. The tongue also does not sit comfortably on the top of the foot. The laces are sturdy though and hold the shoe on well.
As for climbing, they perform ok. They aren't the best shoes for toe and heel hooking. They have slipped on me with the slightest pressure. As I said before, though, they are just fine for beginners who don't want to spend too much money on a pair of shoes. Intro Shoe OnlyFebruary 20, 2014 Decent shoe for beginners, not for experienced climbers.
Not a technical shoe, but good for cracks.
Mine stretched a fair amount, don't be afraid to downsize a full size or 1.5 down.
Comfortable shoe, bad heel, decent toe box.
Keeping it as a rugged shoe for water soloing and long, wide crack climbs. | | | | |

| Runs pretty small, and grip is slickNovember 10, 2013 WARNING: if you order these shoes (which I wouldn't suggest), be sure to order at least a full size above your normal street shoe. I know climbing shoes tend to run a bit small and snug, so I ordered a 10.5 over a standard 10. However, even this is pretty small and sometimes uncomfortable. So, go a full size up.
However, the unforgivable sin here is the slick bottom that has almost no grip. I've fallen several times bouldering because these shoes didn't have adequate grip under the toe box. The rubber is incredibly slick, which I actually see as a physical danger. The heel, however, is incredibly grippy, and I've hit some incredible heel hooks in these that I couldn't when wearing the rental shoes at the local crag gym.
In short, I'd not buy these if I were you. Spend the extra $20 or so and get some Mad Rock shoes. I feel like I wasted my money here.
The climbing documentary DVD that came with the shoes was pretty cool, though. So there's that... If You Plan on Climbing More Than Once or Twice a Year, Don't Bother.April 3, 2013 I bought these to kinda "test the waters" with climbing before investing a bunch of money on shoes that I might not use. I climbed twice in them, and then invested in some Scarpas (which, after a few dozen sessions, I love) and here's why:
-They have an enormous toe box. When all of these people are writing "try on your climbing shoes before you buy them," they're not just blowing smoke. These were exceptionally tight through the middle of my foot, but opened up like the grand canyon near my toes.
-The rubber is astoundingly un-grippy. Anything with small (or, god forbid, smooth) footholds is risky.
-The stitching came loose after about 6 hours of combined use. This mostly occured around the toe, and a little bit of separation near the heel.
Bite the bullet and look into some entry level 5.10, Scarpa, La Sportiva, or even Evolv. These Climb X are truly a waste of money if you plan on regularly climbing. If you're looking to pick something up because you go once a year and the idea of wearing rentals is "icky," buy away! | | | | |

| The leather portion of both shoes developed large tears after ...May 5, 2017 The leather portion of both shoes developed large tears after less than 18 hours of indoor climbing. The price of these shoes are tempting, but I would seriously consider spending the money on another brand of shoe (such as evolv). The shoes fit but I didn't receive a DVD, ...March 19, 2017 The shoes fit but I didn't receive a DVD, as well as there was a huge hole in both the shoes. Fragile Pair of Shoes...December 2, 2016 ripped within 3 light uses, would not recommend, not a good product at all... Not sized properlyOctober 31, 2016 Very small. Waste of money Got me into climbing but...October 24, 2016 Had these shoes for about six months, and climbed a few times a month for that time, both indoor and outdoor. The shoes fit okay, about what I expected. I never found them particularly grippy and would often slip off of good footholds in these shoes. After six months I found three (!) holes in the upper. Got a different brand, and it was like night and day. I would spend a few extra bucks and get something more durable and grippy. Nothing is worse than not sending a problem or route because you're slipping off holds. | | | | |
