Brad Burns's review

If you are climbing steep walls, this is the shoe for you. I have used this shoe on steep walls in Kalymnos, Red Rock, the VC, and the Red. These shoes are stellar for steep, smeary terrain, although they edge better than any soft shoe that I have ever used. The heel on these shoes is also stellar, and fits most peoples feet much better than the original solution heel. I don't know how this shoe maintains such good precision and edging, while also being so incredibly soft and sensitive. This is the ultimate modern bouldering/sport climbing shoe.
