Good Daily Gym Shoe

Kubo's aren't what I'd pick to send a hard route, but a reliable gym shoes. Edges and does moderate overhangs well, and is comfortable. Great deal if on discount.

Comfortable For A More Aggressive Shoe

These shoes fit quite well and are very comfortable for a climbing shoe. I was trying to upgrade from a entry/beginner shoe and was finding so many shoes to not fit very well. My heel doesn't seem to fit in scarpas very well but these fit so well and tight all while allowing some room in the toe box which has been very nice. They seem to perform well for both gym and outdoors.

Great Intermediate Climbing Shoe!

I purchased these after using the Scarpa Origin shoes as my beginner shoe for a few years. I was looking for a climbing shoe that was a bit more aggressive, had more rubber coverage, and wasn't too expensive. The Kubo met all of my expectations and more. They are super comfortable and I can feel they've greatly improved my climbing. I wear a 10.5 in street shoes and got a size 43 in the Kubos. It is tight but over time they have stretched a bit and are great.

Comfortable And Decent Price

I bought this about a month ago and have had many sessions using them since. The shoe is super comfortable and broke in quick. They are a little bit slick when chalk gets on the sole and the heel does not feel the most secure during some heel hooks. Overall I have been very happy with the shoe.

Great Step Up From Tarantula

What a game changer stepping up from the Tarantula without going to a too aggressive shoe. Still comfortable with much more confidence in those small foot holds and heel hooks feels like cheating. v5/v7 here we come!
