Super sticky shoe, but can be painful.

The good:
These shoes *stick*. If there is ANYTHING on the all to stick to, they're going to find it. They're that sticky. They're VERY aggressive. Great bouldering shoes for over hanging stuff, your feet will feel so super strong in them. They will stretch but not a whole heck of a lot.
The Bad:
The heel could be improved dramatically...they're not as gripping as I would like. But, the heel cup is perfect as far as depth for a female foot.
The REALLY bad:
The seams across the front of the shoe are ridiculously painful on the top of the toes. I've got a 37.5 and a 36.5, the pain isn't as bad (surprisingly enough) in my 36.5s. Standing in these shoes, vertical climbing in these shoes...it huuurrts.
