I've climbed in these shoes for two weeks now and they are the best fitting and most sensitive shoes I've ever climbed in. Prior to these shoes I climbed in the Mago's and Boosters. Personally, these shoes beat them hands down. The heel is significantly better and the increase in sensitivity is quite noticeable. They offer the perfect balance between stiff edging power and ultimate sensitivity. I sized them a half size down from the Mago's/Booster's and they fit perfectly. They aren't quite as aggressive as both the Mago's and Boosters, but are more than aggressive enough to handle the toughest of roofs or overhangs.But then why only four stars you ask? Well I just got back from my first outdoor trip(one day) with them. While they performed fantastically, I could stand on the tiniest of holds confidently, the toe patch rubber was seriously peeling off the top by the end of the day. I could understand the longevity of these shoes being compromised eventually due to the soles being only 3mm thick, but I expected more from the toe patch rubber that is not only on these but also the lace-up versions. I was bouldering on sandstone.
That being said, I still love these shoes and have krazy glued the parts of separating toe rubber back onto the shoes. I would/will buy these shoes again.
Update: I had to downgrade the rating to three stars due to the durability issues. Took them on another trip outdoors and more of the same happened. The toe-patch rubber is simply not designed to last on real rock. Still love the shoes though. They fit great and are super sensitive. Just wish they held up better outside. If most of your climbing involves outdoor bouldering, I suggest you look elsewhere.
