I was a bit worried about comfort on long routes, but the heel cup holds like a glove even after hours on the wall. The edging precision on small holds is surprisingly good for a shoe that doesn't leave my feet screaming.

The rubber on these feels super sticky right out of the box—needed almost no break-in on a sketchy granite slab. My feet were secure all day on tiny edges, yet I didn't cramp up on the approach.

Wore these on a long alpine route last weekend and my feet never felt crushed, even after hours of edging. The stiffness is just right for tiny footholds, and the heel hook stayed locked through every move. Only gripe is they run a bit snug, but that's expected for a performance shoe.
