Product description
Ideal for beginners and with great value for your money: the Durango VCR by Red Chili. This comfortable Velcro shoe has a straight last and no pre-tensioning, so that even long routes and exhaustive training sessions are not a torture. Yet, with its RX-1 rubber sole, the Durango VCR keeps a good grip on the wall, allowing for secure steps on small footholds. The high rubber edge takes pressure off the material of the shoe while still offering enough support when hooking. Its special design ensures an optimum fit for the heel, making it more comfortable to wear and keeping your feet from tensing - relaxed feet can hold out longer! Their double VCR-bands make it simple and quick to slip in and out - perfect both indoors and out on the cliffs. The Red Chili Durango VCR ticks all the right boxes when it comes to comfort and versatility!

What do you think about that?
This is what other customers say:
After wearing these red chili climbing shoes for an hour or so one of my toes only on one side started to feel very uncomfortable, perhaps I need to wear them in a bit more (right foot second from the end little toe). I don't know if any one else has had this problem?
Otherwise these are a pair of great shoes, delivery was fast and the quality is very good.

Are these good shoes for her
Hi Rachel, for competitions I'd recommend the Ocun Rival - this is a specific kids competition shoe and should offer her the best chance to perform well :-) I'd recommend trying the UK 2, 2.5 and 3 to see which fits best - the 2 or 2.5 will very likely be a better fit, but if she's right on the cusp between sizes then it would probably be worthwhile getting half a size up and simply wearing socks in the shoes so her feet have room to grow. Hope this helps!

Hi David, for a wide foot I'd recommend the Lowa Falco: https://www.alpinetrek.co.uk/lowa-falco-vcr-climbing-shoes/

Hi Darren,
thank you for your review.
I am not sure how long you climb so please apologise if you already know the following:
Climbing shoes are generally very tight as you need to be able to put a lot of pressure through your toes. They are not meant to be worn over a long period of time but you take them of after every route / every two-three boulders. In general climbing shoes "break in" over time a bit making them softer. If made out of leather (these ones are not!) they will even stretch a bit, adjusting to your foot.
I hope I could help you.
Kind regards
Cora
