Unbelievable performance and fit. This shoe redefines what perfect fit should mean. They feel like someone dipped your foot in rubber, then added a downturned toe and a soft lycra inner material and you would get the Solution. The feel is amazing, the fit is amazing, they are sensitive as all get out, the toe is like a talon to pull on tiny holds or point into pockets, and heel hooks are second nature. You can stand on your toes on nothing, they wrap around holds, smear, and the rubber is the stickiest I've ever climbed in, they stick to ANYTHING.
These shoes are made for bouldering, overhanging/roof, and regular climbing. The only thing they don't do absolutely amazing is climb on tiny dime edge foot holds. The toe box is the only stiff part of the shoe so edging is not there strong point, although they do that well, just not the best. They are meant to be climbed on with your toes, not the sides of the shoe.
Fit is about 1.5 too big. I wear a size 14 (47 euro) street shoe and got these in a 45.5. I wear a size 13 in Anasazi VCS's just for reference. At 45.5, they are very tight, but still comfy somehow, with only the small toes being crunched up. The big toe does not get crunched up that much, as that is how they are supposed to fit. Also, this shoe is for someone with narrow to normal feet as they are fairly narrow, but that just adds to there amazing fit.
