Ankle Boots and Climbing

Hey guys, I want to buy these boots http://pleaserusa.com/ProductDetail.asp?div=1_PLEASER&dpt=10_PF&ctg=&STYLE_CD=SPIKY-1018&PROD_CD=SP1018%2FBPU%2FM Im not sure what the material is, but its not the glossy one (which Ive heard can be helpful with gripping the pole). Has anyone had issues climbing, or generally sticking to the pole with this kind of material? Thanks!
