OMG!! Probably the most versatile shoe I've ever tried! I've just spent the entire day climbing in them and I'm blown away. These shoes edge and stick like nothing else. IMHO the Techno is the most technical shoe I've tried without actually using a downturned shoe. I was edging and smearing in places that I would have totally bailed off of in the past. The only beef I have is that the heel of the shoe did dig into the back of my achilles and that started to soften up after a few hours. That being said, I had to get out of them between climbs. These are wonderful to climb in, but to stand in while on belay, not so much. I sized them a half size under my street shoe, and while being a little unconfortable while standing in, they did start to stretch out some. So far they seem to be shaping to my foot perfectly, and I'm very optimistic that they will become the perfect fit.

So far they are awesome. I have only used them in the gym while bouldering. At first, the tops of the heals dig into my Achilles tendon, but it loosened up after the first hour. I hope they stretch just a little bit. I will update this post after a few more weeks of use. The review in "Rock & Ice" is right on.
