Very good climbing shoes for alpine routes and beginners. Very comfortable and a good grip

Fit like a glove
Agree w/ Ellis's review re: price. Love the fact they lace down to the toes for XLNT custom fitting. It's almost like being barefoot but with really sticky feet. Heel cap doesn't dig like others.

Great Back-Up Shoe
I bought these shoes as a second pair and specifically to wear when I need to keep my shoes on for long periods of time such as recently on the Palisades Traverse in California's Sierra Nevada. Comfort is their strong suit. The general word is that this is a beginner shoe but it has performed well for me=plenty of grip from that Stealth sole. The price is excellent especially since you can usually but it for below its advertised retail price.

Good for Long Routes
This shoe is awesome for long routes. I always use this shoe for long easier climbs. I always take this when I know that I am going to be wearing my shoes for long periods of time because they are pretty comfortable.

For the price... great beginner.
Got this shoe during the REI labor day sale for like $55. Good shoe.

I have the velcro variant
The Coyote "VCS" are easier to put on and adjust -- though I don't know how necessary that is since this is a very comfortable shoe once broken in. They don't pinch or otherwise hurt my toes even on a multi-pitch trad climb, though they don't offer much support either.
I must have weirdly-shaped feet because the shoes that are the right length for me require me to tighten the straps so much that I had to shorten them.
These shoes are not quite as comfortable as the La Sportiva Cliffs, but close, and they are better for edge and toe work. So far they seem to be holding up well to wear & tear (unlike my last pair of Cliffs).

First shoe
This is (soon to be was) my first shoe. I've had them for 9 months and have enjoyed them, however the right shoe never did fit quite right. I'm thinking my right foot is just a bit longer than the left. Not sure if its related, but I have created a hole in the shoe on my right big toe, the exact spot where i feel pressure from the shoe not fitting quite right. That being said, i thrashed these shoes pretty hard, swam across a few rivers, got them dirty as hell. THey took it well. I'd recommend this shoe to anyone unsure of what they want. My opinion may change over the next few shoes i own, but for now... great shoe
