cheap shoes - make sure you order small
By ROPEGUNZ from OHIO on 7/16/2008
Sizing:
Feels full size too small
Width:
Feels true to width
Pros:
Cheap, Easy on and off velcro
Cons:
Not Adjustable, Too Small
Best Uses:
Bouldering, Indoor, Outdoor
Describe Yourself:
Avid Climber
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Bought these for by 2 kids 95 and 10. Both pairs were too small, but the kids love the "flames" on them. Even though these are cheapies, (assuming they were the right size to begin with) they probably wouldn't climb enough in them to wear them out quicker than they would grow out of them anyway so i consider them a perfect kids climbing shoe which is what they are supposed to be - definately not a competition shoe or adult shoe.

Comments: Great kids shoe! A little wider than I expected, but you can adjust fairly well with the velcro top flap. That also allows to order with some growing room. Only shoe I've found in the smaller sizes and can't beat the price!
Good solid climbing shoe for kids
By daddyclimber from davis, ca on 6/9/2008
Sizing:
Feels half size too small
Width:
Feels true to width
Pros:
Lightweight, Velcro closure is nice
Cons:
Difficult onoff, Dye comes off on foot
Best Uses:
Bouldering, Indoor, Outdoor
Describe Yourself:
Avid Climber
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Climbing shoes should not fit like a street shoe. So comments that these shoes are too tight, may be a result of the fact that they are supposed to be tight. That being said, they do tend to be difficult to put on and take off. As a former climbing instructor, it does take time for kids (and adults) to get used to how a climbing shoe fits. This shoe gave my son about 1.5 years of service before he out grew them (he is just now turning 5yo) I plan to buy the same shoe in the next size again.

Width:
Feels true to width
Cons:
Size feels too small
Describe Yourself:
Casual
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: The shoe was exactly what I was looking for for my daughter who loves to do climbing walls. I realize they are climbing shoes and must fit well and close to mould to feet for better grip,etc. These were just too small and I have to return them as they do not have the size she needs. Over all good construction, etc. Just too small. I would recommend them to a friend, just warn of being a 1/2 to full size small.
