INDOOR SHOES

Comfortable.
Blue
Poor rubber.
Poor Last.
In all honesty i probable bought these shoe too large (maybe 0.5 to 1.0 to big) but still found them disappointing. You can hire these shoe from the indoor wall at most places so try lots of different sizes before you buy. The rubbers the same on them all though.

GOOD FOR STARTERS, COMFY, BUT NOT THE STICKIEST

Comfortable, quick to lace up, board lasted thick-ish sole for good support, good wear and possibility of repair. Go-faster stripes. decent price. 'Newbie-indicator' logo on sole wears off quickly
check the heel fit - can be a little sloppy. not the stickiest. wear socks [heresy!]or don't sweat if you don't want blue feet.
some have said scarpa tend to be narrow, but these fitted better than the madrock ones I tried. 'synthetic cradle' ought to stop the worst of stretching, but the heel could be a bit sloppy anyway.

decent boot for starting with - comfortable, durable.
