SImond Rock+ Climbing Shoes Adult

Premier mois d’escalade de bloc, et très satisfait de ces chaussons, qui sont parfaits pour leur prix

I think these are good beginner shoes. I have used them once, sockless, and some of the blue came on my feet, but other than that they were comfortable and I climbed well. I am just a beginner though, so I am not sure what I'd be looking for. I got a tight pair, but it didn't end up causing any pain in the 1.5 hours of climbing.

After a month wearing these shoes 3 times a week, I find them comfortable but they leave my feet completely blue after climbing, the dye is wearing off and is quite hard to take off my skin. I still think they are great overall for the price.

These shoes are great to start off with. Got them not long after I started bouldering as I didn't want to keep paying for rentals but wasn't willing to get a more expensive pair quite yet. First off, definitely get a size down. I tried on a 6 and thought they were too tight so went for a 7 (which is my normal shoe size) which fit great initially. After you've worn them in and they stretch they won't be as snug as you need them to be, definitely get a size down. I've been climbing in them for about 3 months now, I go bouldering twice a week and have just started to climb some V2 routes. They were great up until recently, they've lost a lot of the grip they had before and I find I'm slipping a lot more and don't have as much grip as I did previously. I only bought them to start off with so they've definitely served their purpose, would definitely recommend if you're starting out or climbing between VB-V1, but I think passed V2 or if you're climbing regularly you definitely need a more durable pair

I have bought this when I first started bouldering 3-4 months ago. I wear size 3 shoes usually, when i tried size 3 on at first it fit quite tight and was really uncomfortable in store so I went for a size 4 which was perfect (without socks on ofc). After a few weeks it did stretch and ever since then it is only comfortable with socks on, I wish I would have went for the size 3! I have no issues with the sturdiness of it, it holds really well, the rubber is starting to rub off a bit but that is expected. As I started to climb V3 and V4 routes I do feel like I need better shoes, but that was expected as well. Overall great shoes to start with, happy with this purchase.

Comfortable and pretty tough so far.

Great

They are only good for very beginner routes e.g. V0 - V1, any more advanced and they don't hold well, they are very slippery and I keep slipping off the holds and bolsters.

Comfort my son very like it

These were decent price point for an entry shoe, they fit nicely and the Vibram sole is fairly sticky. But having climbed in them for a few months, the upper has started really twisting on my foot, which causes a fair amount of pain through the toes when climbing. Can't figure out if it's the upper that has stretched, or the Velcro has lost it's stick. I think the latter as they're fine at the start of the session but twisting towards the end.

Bargain

This was my very first climbing shoe and I have used these for 3 months. I intended to purchase these to test the waters of the hobby, and they are extremely good for this purpose. They have thicker rubber and extra padding when compared to the more expensive, advanced level shoes. Unsurprisingly, as a beginner, you are not climbing as efficiently as an advanced climber would, which means you're often bashing your foot against the walls, and taking foot holds quite aggressively. These are extremely well designed to protect you from these otherwise painful, novice mistakes, until you get better :) Other pros of these shoes are the quality of rubber, the amazing convenience of the Velcro straps and overall comfort. My street size shoe is a UK 9 (EU 43), and I purchased these shoes in UK 9.5 (EU 44) as they were more "comfortable" for me at the time, as climbing shoes can often feel tight. They do stretch a bit (as with EVERY other climbing shoe - even advanced level ones), so in hindsight, I would purchase a size 8 (EU 42), even if they do feel rather tight initially, they quickly stretch out. Overall: Buy this shoe if you're a beginner.
