I like the gripping power of these shoes, but have had major problems with the durability of the uppers. In particular, the rubber sole tends to seperate from the upper (happened on both shoes).

These are great! They are durable, thin, and strong. Great deal for their price.

Great price and weight for an anchor biner. They are not quite big enough for a belay biner though.

They are lightweight and easy to clip rope into. For my preference, the sling could be a little stiffer, but still a great QD.
