Summary:
the indo's were very sticky the first time i wore them. They've been with me for about 4 years not. I only climb in the gym so they do not wear out so fast. Anyway, its a ver nice and comfortable shoe. my only complain is that the shoe feels sloppy after a long climb

Summary:
A nice shoe, and relatively inexpensive. The Indo red is a great shoe and is excellent for edging. The elastic design and the location of the pull tabs(two at the back) makes this slipper a bit tricky to put on, especially in cold weather. The shoe once on is comfortable. Good value for the money.

Summary:
I bought these shoes because at the time they were the best fit/ best suited for my climbing. However, I used them lot for indoor 'winter' climbing... meaning the rubber never got a chance to soften when I warmed up, and as a result took 6 months to break-in. I resorted to using shoe horns to stretch the rubber better, and this summer, when I was climbing in them again, because the most comfortable day of climbing for me. I recommend these for anyone who climbs alot and can break-in the shoes quickly. Great front edging, and I have soft toes too! I would not recommend 'slipper' style climbing shoes for any beginners however.
