I bought this shoe when looking for a softer sport shoe that is good for single pitch climbing. I have also used them for moderate bouldering and they seem to transition well.

I have yet to have any issues with wear (which I have had in $150 shoes)
If you want a shoe that will work for many applications, this is a great choice. I would recommend this shoe especially to beginner and intermediate climbers as it cheap, comfortable and a great all-around shoe.
