Hi everybody, I am a 16 year old trying to introduce some friends into bouldering. I wanted to get them some shoes for Christmas, but looked for a couple months to no avail. My budget is really tight (my only income is a small blacksmithing business I am trying to expand), and I can't go much past $30 for a pair of shoes, preferably less. (Maybe the fact that they are group to be used by a group of kids will influence your pricing?) We don't need the nicest shoes, but I also don't want to buy them junk. If you would throw away the shoe, please don't offer it to me. 

What I am looking for: 

  • Sizes men’s 8-8.5 and 10.5-11.5 (I think 41, 41.5, 44, 44.5, 45, but all the size conversion charts I have found are different)
  • Slight to moderate downturn (basically I don’t want to buy them a rental shoe)
  • Enough rubber for at least some climbing, no big holes

If I don't sound like a teen with all these details, it is because I am a nerd and have done way to much shoe research.  

I would also love a chalk bucket, as one chalk bag on my belt gets kind of weird with five guys

Thank you all so much for considering!

Hey Eli, send me a DM. I have a few size 41 shoes I would get rid of for cheap.

Updated message, and to all of you who responded, I’m still trying to get some more money and figure out what shoes to buy. If it seems like I’m ghosting you, it’s just because I’m broke and starting school again
