Guide Review: This is one comfortable rock climbing shoe. The two heel straps make the shoe easy to pull on. The padded tongue offers extra cushioning. The soles are sticky, making it easy to scale that rock wall that has been taunting you. The only downside for me was that there was a lot of room in the heel, which felt odd. After hours of climbing in this shoe, your feet won’t be screaming to be set free.
