I really liked these shoes, they fit me better than any other Mad Rocks I owned (which is a testament to their sizing differences). Good at both edging and smearing, great heel and toe hooking, pretty much good at everything I threw at them. I bought these when they first came out, and as has been said, the rubber was worn through to the leather within a month. I resoled with 4mm Stealth and still had an excellent shoe. Highly recommended!!

These are quite odd....seems as if the rubber that X's over the instep is the shoe, and the leather is an after thought. I have a bunch of extra leather that bunches up around my ankle. I bought these relatively tight, and tore the leather the first time putting them on. The rubber under the toes is pretty sticky, but the rand and heel rubber is horrible, probably the least sticky rubber I've ever seen on a climbing shoe. Seeing as how Fredrique Nicole wears these, I have to wonder what he could climb if he picked up some V10s or Anasazis!!

I really like these, though I'm pissed that they came out with dual pull on loops AFTER I bought them! Otherwise, one of the best edging slippers that I've found, just enough stretch to make them bearable the way I sized them. As far as the heel hooking issue goes, I haven't had them slip off (though they always feel as if they're ready to) but they could use the regular Anasazi heel with its extra rubber.

Well, not as technical as one may want on a steep edgy problem, but overall very good and as comfortable as bedroom slippers after they break in. Great price, and good all around without relying on one type of climbing to shine (OK, so cracks would be the closest thing :p)

These are comfortable, which is the biggest plus, otherwise, they really don't have any outstanding features.
