Montrail Grommet Rock Climbing Shoes (For Youth)

Climbing shoes should not fit like a street shoe. So comments that these shoes are too tight, may be a result of the fact that they are supposed to be tight. That being said, they do tend to be difficult to put on and take off. As a former climbing instructor, it does take time for kids (and adults) to get used to how a climbing shoe fits. This shoe gave my son about 1.5 years of service before he out grew them (he is just now turning 5yo) I plan to buy the same shoe in the next size again.

Great kids shoe! A little wider than I expected, but you can adjust fairly well with the velcro top flap. That also allows to order with some growing room. Only shoe I've found in the smaller sizes and can't beat the price!

good, inexpensive shoe for kids. fits small. back of heel a little scratchy at first b/c of the stitching. have your kids wear socks until they break in.

Bought these for by 2 kids 95 and 10. Both pairs were too small, but the kids love the "flames" on them. Even though these are cheapies, (assuming they were the right size to begin with) they probably wouldn't climb enough in them to wear them out quicker than they would grow out of them anyway so i consider them a perfect kids climbing shoe which is what they are supposed to be - definately not a competition shoe or adult shoe.

I ordered size 33 (2), because my son's street shoe size is a 2. These look like they are three sizes too small! Might be a good thing since the next size they have in stock is a 36. Seriously. My daughter, who is a size 10 can put these on with room. I feel they run like a size 12. Crazy. They are really cute though and am glad I can exchange them. Just have to pray the new ones aren't way too big... :-}
