I have purchased about 5 pairs of these shoes over the years. I bought them for gym climbing because of the easy on/off of a slipper. I began using them more and more for general cragging and found them to perform pretty well.

They are very comfortable on my feet (YMMV) and I can wear them for extended periods. If the weather isn't cold, however, I usually take them off at the belays.

I like the supple feel of the slipper and I find that I can curl my toes around certain features which increases my stability. A dowside to these shoes is that on edging intensive routes, your feet will get tired. Also, because they are slippers, they will have a significantly shorter lifespan than a board lasted shoe.

Cheap, Durable, and Cut for wider feet. Great for climbing really steep stuff, but you can edge a bit with them too, especially when they're newer.

I borrowed these off a friend for a couple of hours, so only got to try in my climbing gym. Found that they were nowhere near as supportive as my five-ten mojaves, but the sensitivity was a revelation. I could suddenly tell what shape exactly grips were that I was standing on. The bane for me used to be using one finger pocket type features with my feet, but it was no problem in these. The only thing I didn't like was the lack of support. I felt slightly 'naked' and when bouldering, edging was troublesome. Apart from this, great shoe on what I tried it with. No idea how it fairs outside in the 'real world' though.

Great for wall climbing. You can feel everything and the rubber sticks like glue. I love being able to slip them on and off between climbs. Great price too.

Love the shoe. I tend to favor more technical designs, and I must say this shoe has lived up to my expectations of a technical climbing shoe. I really like the toe design which works well in cracks and on quarter wide ledges. I also say the rubber sticks to anything and smears great. Finally, I have narrow feet, and the slipper design fits my foot great. Most shoes are too big in the heel.

What a deal, any one can find these babies for $75.00 with a little effort. Seems like someone always has these on sale. They climb like a dream, if you've been climbing long enough to have strong feet. Otherwise you'll complain about not having enough support. Ie you don't belong in a slipper.

These are the best pair of rock boots i've ever wore on my feet, they stick to everything. They're starting to wear very thin after about 6 months hard rock climbing in them on mainly Limestone. Anyway they were great value in a sale. Alas it is now time to buy a new set of rock boots, if I can get some more for a similar price then I'd defianelty buy them again.

I bought these shoes specifically for bouldering and short, hard sport routes. They are fabulous. Excellent smearing and I get good edging too. Stealth C-4 rubber has got to be the stickiest thing this side of velcro. I bought these on the recomendation of a friend who has 3 pairs and one pair has been resoled 5 times!!! Unbelievable. Love em.

Best shoe I've ever owned. It can do anything. Pockets, slopers, crystals, smears, whatever. For $100 you can't go wrong.
