Product description
Climbing and bouldering shoes for long sessions and multi-pitch routes
If you have narrow feet and don't want to constantly change climbing shoes during the day, you should definitely take a look at the Circuit Low Volume II from Red Chili. Designed for long climbing and bouldering sessions, the climbing shoes offer a good balance of performance and comfort. There is a counter-rotating hook-and-loop fastener makes it easy to take the shoes off and put them on. They also let you adjust the fit. The shoes also feature a durable leather upper that’s thin and adapts to the shape of your feet. Two pull tabs also make it easier for you to put them on.
Designed for comfort and a good performance
The insole is made of hemp and prevents the formation of odours thanks to its antibacterial properties. As for the midsole, it runs the entire length of the shoe and provides stability. This, along with the grippy sole creates a unit that allows you to stand on small lasts and edges. The soles will support your feet and provide good feedback from the rock. Another great feature includes the neutral last that leaves enough room for the toes and the padding on the ankles for extra comfort. They’re completed by a TPU mesh that forms the middle part of the shoes that’s very soft, breathable and extremely durable.

What do you think about that?
This is what other customers say:
Been using these for about 6 months for indoor bouldering and I think they are a solid shoe, far beyond a beginner shoe. I climb up to V8/9 and use these for pretty much everything I only break out my better("expensive") shoes for particular climbs, such as really tiny feet or toe hooks as there isn't that much toe rubber on these, although you can still "bat hang" in these, it's just a bit more challenging. I climb 3-4 times a week and there is no sign of any holes, there's internally a hemp lining that in one shoe has come loose but it's no issue.
I only went half a size down and they fit great, I'm a fan of the heel hook and don't have any gaps around the heel, as I have found in other shoes.
I'm writing this review as I buy a second pair while they are still available and relatively cheap.
