The best advice I can give you is to try on as many climbing shoes as you can before you buy a pair. Look for a shoe that fits your foot tightly without any dead spaces but without causing discomfort. I recommend a "all round" climbing shoe not to aggressive but gives you confidence to climb more technical routes. This is the middle of the range shoe which is not marketed for "beginners" or the top model with anti-gravity rubber. My picks are the Anasazi VCS, Scarpa Vapor V and the La Sportiva Miura. I hope this advice helps you an please let me know what you decide.
