| These are very good beginner's lady shoe. They have a comfortable toe box, and lots of room and flexibility throughout for someone just getting used to a climbing shoe. |
| It is possible to quickly out-perform this shoe. Within a few months of beginning to climb, I found I wanted a shoe that was smaller and stiffer throughout, and also one that I could lace up for added support. |
| The La Sportiva Nago's are a good step up from this shoe - they are more aggressive and may hurt more at first, but if you are planning on climbing frequently, and pursuing the sport long-term, the slight discomfort up from may be worth it. If you plan on taking your time, this is a wonderful shoe. |

Cred: 180 | | cheap, good intro to climbing, slap and stick = super quick to get on and off, have held up pretty well- had them for over a year and climbed over 100 routes with no tears (about 20 indoor and 80 outdoor) |
| not very comptetitive, super painful, can't smear, like at all |

| Bought these for my twin daughters. The shoe appeared to be a solid climbing shoe and the velcro was an easy slip on slip off, which is exactly what I was looking for. |
| Had to return the shoes. It seems the shoes run small(I know that is a good thing for most climbers) but beware if you want to feel your toes for days to come. I ordered a size up from what my girls normally wear and they were too small and had to return them. |

Cred: 5 | | I'm a relatively new climber, and started off with some other shoes that really gave me blisters and caused lots of cramps in my arches. I traded the old ones in for these, and I love them! The fit is perfect for women's feet and the arch support is really good. I like the shape of the toe, and they're purple! |

Cred: 3 | | Good overall shoe especially for beginners. Has a nice narrow toe for jamming into small cracks. |
| The heel cup is narrow and shallow, which makes it feel like the shoe will pop off during a heel-hook. |

Cred: 10 | | these make me climb like spiderman! |
