A classic good-quality, not-too-expensive, comfortable beginner shoe. These were my first shoes and they lasted a good 2 years, and perform reasonably well indoors and outdoors.

This is a great budget-friendly shoe that still performs well on moderate terrain (up to 5.10a for most people)! The fit can be dialed in with the laces and/or adjusted on the fly when being worn all day.
