It was (and still is) my first climbing shoe and I'm quite happy with it. It took a lot of abuse on the rock and stood it excellently. Excellent edging, reasonable smearing. Not too sensitive but will surely not limit you for the first year or two of climbing. The fit is quite comfortable; however, the seam in laces in the front was exactly in the middle of my big toe, which made for very painful climbing experience the first few times around. They stretched quite a bit and I now wish I bought then another 1/2 size smaller. Overall, excellent value for the price.

Great beginning shoe and intermediate shoe, though the small stuff is bit harder because it is a less sensitive shoe. Very solid construction, wide enough for those of us with EEE size feet. Overall, good, solid shoe.

My pair pair of Aero's have proven themselves to be a great climbing shoes. I have been climbing once a week with them for the past 4 years. The sole is very adherent (but not as much as the Stealth C4 soles). The leather is very resistent and an interior liner prevents them stretching too much. They do lack sensitivity, because of the rigid inner sole. All for all they are great climbing shoes for the beginning or intermediate climber.

A very comfortable wearing shoe. Versatile as well, very good for smearing, jamming, and crack climbs. Long lasting, I've been using these and my Kaukulators for almost three years now without having either resoled. Personally, I prefer the Aeros.

Good all around beginner/intermediate shoe. Edges well, thanks to board lasting, but lacks sensitivity for the steep and small stuff.
