Just curious why they are so cheap, are they good shoes

Just buought these and used them on a 2 pitch. Very comfortable shoes, great for multi pitch. They have a very soft lining that covers the top of the foot and heel areas. The rubber is nice a worked good, so far, for smearing. You can edge with them, but it's not its strongest point. Really just built for trad comfort. Comparable to the La Sportiva Tarantula in my opinion.

I think it's a great shoe for longer/all trad routes where you want something comfy instead of super high performance, or beginners looking for a solid shoe. It feels a bit nicer than the defy from Evolv to me, and I'd compare it to the Tarantulace from Sportiva or The Rogue from 5.10.
It wouldn't be my first choice for hard techy faces or steep sport/boulder routes, but then again that's not what they're made for.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
