A proven performer with a redesigned Mad twist, the Flash is a superb shoe that can tackle face, trad and multi-pitch climbs with equal aplomb. The workhorse of Mad Rock's lineup. It does EVERYTHING well, has won accolades and awards the world over, and while it has been many climber's first Mad Rock climbing shoe, it has done steady business with repeat buyers, guides, and experts who are looking for a good fitting, great performing shoe..../ Mad Rock Men's Flash Two-Strap Velcro,,Orange,11 M US / Shoes Shoes

Good beginner shoe : Mad Rock Men's Flash Two-Strap Velcro,,Orange,11 M US
The incredibly popular Flash just got better with their new Science Friction rubber. I have to say it is super sticky. Sure these aren't super high-end Italian made construction. But for the money these shoes are unbeatable.
I don't recommend anyone buy climbing shoes online unless they've tried the exact model and size before because they are designed to fit tight, and every model fits differently. A specific fit to your particular feet make the difference between good comfort and unbearable pain. This is especially true the higher performance the shoe.
The Flash are designed to fit tight with toes full curled. This is good for beginners only if they know they want a higher performance shoe that fits tight with toes fully curled and don't mind a little less comfort. This shoe has great performance for even advanced climbers who want a no-nonsense all around shoe.
Unlike sizing for other climbing shoe companies, these give a good tight fit in regular street shoe size. I wear size 10 street shoes, and these fit tight with my toes curled in size 10. 9.5 was super tight, 9 was even tighter, and I could barely squeeze in 8.5 with pain. 10.5 was comfortable with toes still not flat. 11 was almost flat, but the volume of the shoe became too large to fit right. Bottom line again is these aren't shoes meant to fit with your toes flat.
They are unlined leather so I expect them to stretch a half size to a size. I recommend street shoes size which may be a little uncomfortable at first, but should stretch and mold to your feet as they break in. For more performance half a size down. But again, try on them on and several other brands and models before you buy online.
