Can't wait to see what Skinner says.

I'll take the time to write up a bit of a review on them when I'm not a work. Skinner and I set up a new slab route a couple weeks ago, and I took them along to see how they'd do on that. They worked out great for that. Though at about 5.7 and up some slab move start becoming... well a little nervewrackign on the local limestone... at least on a couple routes. Bouldering to see how they preformed on smaller edges and scumming the rands for mantles was great. After doing a few fairly steep aproaches I can say they hike quite nicely too. I sized them the same as my street shoes. They seem to be made a little small so the proper fit seems to be about your street shoe size.

The rubber is the Trax rubber and is great high friction rubber, yet seems to wear quite well. Better than I expexcted in fact.

More later, back to work.
