I would buy this on the smaller size
Very comfortable shoe, a bit too comfortable. Unfortunately the shoe has stretched a bit too much after couple of months of regular climbing and became too loose. I can fit my 2no fingers to the back of the heel by this point of having the shoes for over a year.
My own fault for not doing research on the shoe materials though!
So if I was buying it again - I'd get a size smaller.
That's the only reason why I am giving it 3 stars and not 5.... Because they are not usable any more unless I am on easy Trad ledges and not on slabs / smearing... Or warm up routes.
Other than that - it is what's written on a tin. Versatile, comfortable, non-agressive shoe. Perfect for beginners.

I bought this show about a year ago when I first started climbing. It has lasted until now but is beginning to wear through.
I would highly recommend this shoe - I bought it is a size down from my street show size. It was perfect for all the indoor climbing I did and held out for a wee bit of outdoor bouldering.
