As a relative novice to climbing, i did not want to spend a million dollars on shoes. I looked at several brands under $100 and found these...I went and tried them on at the store first so that I would know if i liked them. They were very comfortable and seemed to be well made. I have a friend who has climbed for many years and when I mentioned this brand to her, she said i would love them.

After climbing in them probably a dozen times by now, I still really like them and have a lot more confidence that my feet aren't going to slip off the rock, so my climbing skill is improving every time!  A very good shoe with good rubber, and excellent quality construction. Would definitely recommend them to other climbers, especially for the price.
