Climbing Shoes - First Klimb

I wasn't going to write a review but saw others say the same so thought I'd give my two cents. I wouldn't bother with these at all. They are the cheapest shoes you will find for a reason, honestly just bite the bullet and invest in better. The grip is awful. The sole is eve

n slippery to the touch. I slipped off of a hold and broke and dislocated my leg needing surgery. This was within 2 weeks of upgrading from rentals. When I eventually returned to climbing, I spent just an extra £10 investing in a decent pair! I am not blaming the shoe, nor the brand, just anecdotally highlighting the lack of grip in this particular shoe. It is incredibly hard to place any trust in them. On the positive side, it's a good introduction to getting a feel for how a climbing shoe fits your foot. If you must buy, I would just be extremely careful with footwork, therefore only using at a very beginner level (just to note, I was not using these at an extreme level). Or spend the extra (it's not so much, really) money investing in another shoe from the simmond range, which I'm sure perform better.
