Product Review: Mad Rock Mad Monkey 2.0 Climbing Shoe – Kids’
Overall:
We bought these shoe’s about a year ago for my 4 year olds birthday. She has been climbing on them quite a bit, indoor and out, and they have held up great. They are my favorite kids climbing shoe thus far and I would highly recommend them to other parents.
Comfort:
Kids shoes do not need to be super aggressive and stiff. These shoes are going to provide your child with the extra help they need to climb better but remain comfortable so they still enjoy having them on. I have heard zero complaints from my daughter about the comfort of the shoe and she leaves them on for long periods of time between climbs too.
Practical:
The shoes are easy to put on with one big velcro strap which means that even your littlest can probably do it on their own.
The shoes are also adjustable for growing feet which is great. The large velcro on top cinches it tighter and the two small velcro straps on the heel allows you to adjust, lengthen, or tighten the shoe as well.
Thus far, the shoe has proven durable and the design seems like it will continue to hold up. I plan on passing it on to our next after she grows out of hers.
The monkey theme of course is loved by kids.
Cost:
These shoes can generally be found for $38 which is obviously a great price for climbing shoes but specifically also a competitive price for kid’s climbing shoes. Even more so because these shoes seem like they can last for more than one child.
