We like wearing the La Sportiva Tarantulace Climbing Shoe on long, easy-to-moderate multi-pitches, and we think it would make an excellent option for first-timers. This shoe prioritizes your foot's comfort to keep us focused on the climb instead of any discomfort. We picked this shoe for Utah's longest routes, and we still wear it at the gym whether we're bouldering or climbing ropes. As long as the walls are vertical, these shoes serve us well.
