These are some of the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn. The fit is snug all around, and they breathe really well. They really haven't stretched much at all over their lifespan, so getting the right fit first time is important.
The grip is really good; stiff, sticky and precise. After six months of fairly good use (6-9hrs/week) the toe edge isn't as precise as it once was, but it still works.
My only concern is that they upper on the inside forefoot above the arch, and along the outside edge has started to disintegrate. 150hrs is on the short side for the lifespan of a shoe, but on the other hand they were really comfortable.
This is an amazing shoe, I have worn the Hueco for years because i loved the comfort/performance balance that it had, nothing else was even close...
so I was skeptical when i was told this should too the comfort to a new level and at the same time increased performance dramatically.
Well... It's true, This is my new favorite all around shoe, It is hands down the most comfortable climbing shoe I have worn to date and with Five Ten's Onyx rubber the performance, particularly edging performance is astounding

This is a great shoe for a beginner climber, very comfortable, great fit, toes are pointy enough for small holds. My only complaint is that the rubber could be stickier.
