This is a great shoe. I have been climbing a little over a year now, and recently wore a hole through my Optimus Primes and decided to try this shoe. It definitely does not disappoint. Incredibly sticky, not too painful, SUPER sensitive. That might be a con for most people, but I have been playing soccer for the better part of the last 11 years and have developed substantial leg and foot strength. These things smear like a champ, and edge well but not amazingly well. They do require some footwork skills, but once you get the hang of them, you will love them forever. This is my new favorite shoe and will not be changing for a while.
Brands I'd also recommend: Evolv, Five ten

Great shoe for overhung bouldering and sport routs! I got this shoe about a 6 weeks ago and have been loving it! The P3 platform helps give the shoe some stability, while the thin rubber really lets you feel what you are standing on. I have a super narrow foot, and these things fit like a glove. Heel hooks feel super bomber, no play at all in the heel. For over hanging problems, the rubber over the toe makes for amazing toe hooks. My only complaint is that they don't really edge very well. But overall an amazing shoe, one of my favorite for bouldering. So far I have used them to onsight V6. Still can't max em out! As far as sizing I wear a 11.5 to 12 street shoe and got these in a 42 which is a USM 9, size em tight size em right!
