These are truly magnificent rock shoes. I've only had them for a month or so, so I can't comment on how well they hold up in the long run, but I can say that they are unbelievably comfortable for being as aggressive as they are. You can edge on dimes, toe-hook anything, and still be able to wear them hours on end. They fit like a second skin from the minute you put them on, and I've seen no signs of serious stretching. I have a US narrow size 9.5 foot, and I wear a 40.5 in these. Perfect for those with low-volume feet.

Really quality bouldering/gym shoe. Slightly downturned with a lot of rubber in the toe allowing for precise footwork on overhanging/crappy feet. Heel rubber is very thin and at first feels a bit loose in the heel, but after using for a month or so, the heel actually performs quite well. Usually go down a half size in Five Ten and Sportiva, needed to go down a full size in these and probably could go down another half size for performance.

So far, so good. I originally ordered these in the wrong size but have cleared that up. I am wearing a 41.5 and have worn the same size in La Sportiva (Baracuda). I like the down turned toe. The heel stays on better than my other shoes which have Velcro, so the slipper design has been fine. Yesterday I used these to send a SE classic. I need to find a new project this season.

These perform excellently on overhanging routes but too much vert will wear the toe rubber out very fast. For hard climbing definitely drop 1½ sizes. They were painful at first, but the toe box stretches to allow more comfort for knuckled toes.

Perfectly suited to their purpose. Some standout features include the precise and solid the toe feels secure on the rocks. The toe box is made for an aggressive curl and they fit similarly to La Sportiva - low volume heel - and similar sizing profiles. For example, I have several aggressive Sportiva shoes in 42 and 42.5. I got 42.5 in these and they fit great. One of my favorite features is the softness of the material. They are velvety and fit like a glove.
