Awesome shoe! very comfortable and yet very high performance, sensitive and accurate. not as stiff for edging as the Miura but better fitting (for me) and more sensitive. its my fav shoe for routes with its great balance of softness, sensitivity, poise and reasonable edging power. not as amazing for lots of heel hooks or toe pulling on roofs... (but dnt get me wrong they are still great for this stuff, its just that there are even better shoes for the ultra steep stuff like Cobra, Solution and Testarossa)
If I had to use only one pair of shoes I'd have a hard time choosing between these and the Cobras.

Oh and BTW, size em small, as small as you can, i sized mine 42 and my Sportiva trekking boot size is 45, they will stretch a bit above the toes and will still be very comfy but better performing...

P.s. they feel nothing like the Katanas (way better and more comfy) even tough they're both based on the same last... go figure...
