Easily the most comfortable performance shoe I've worn, and I got some funkily shaped feet. Great fit, no dead spots, powerful edging, and smear fairly well. While I've heard that they aren't great on very steep terrain, I haven't found any problems with them on overhanging sport routes and boulder problems, as the shoe flexes really well and can stick well on just about anything.
Great shoe, along with the Rage, I think I'm very well set.

I love my super Kaos. After a wait of almost 2 weeks, because of the stupid postal service screwing up and not shipping them Priority, I finally got them just in time to break them in at Tuolumne. The latest generation is perfect for Yosemite climbing. They edge superbly; find a tiny edge and they stick. It surprised me with the smearing ability too, the new version is much better than the previous model. And the super rand option I got (because I love crack climbing) helps when I stuff my toes into a finger crack. Heel hooking and toe hooking are both as good as my MR Hookers, which I never wear anymore, because the Kaos are so much more comfortable. For technical sport, nothing beats them. I have even used them for hard multipitch Trad.

Overall verdict: awesome shoe, lasting well so far, and the company has awesome support, usually replying to my emails within 10 minutes, and even offering to make (and actually making) another pair exactly like the ones that took 2 weeks to arrive. Of course I got them on the day they were going to ship the new shoes. That was awesome of them because the shoes were custom made for me with the super rand option. I recommend this shoe to anyone looking for a fairly comfortable performance shoe with awesome edging and toe power.

These shoes are awesome! I returned a pair of new anasazi slippers because the lining ripped out and the toes broke through after a month. I was bummed cause I climb best in 5.10 anasazis.

I debated buying a second pair, but tried on the KAOS instead. The toe box felt the same as the anasazi. the heel felt more secure but with less aggressive "slingshot " tension, probably cause the heel cup is deeper. The strange sole shape allowed me to pull the KAOS tighter across my arch than anasazi velcros giving me a very secure down toe fit.

The price was right, They seemed sturdy for a slipper, so I bought 'em. The next day I took them to the ORG, used them twice two warm up and a third time to redpoint ( for the first time) a thin, steep, long, hard (.12d), sport route that had beat me up in the past. Having unfamilar shoes preform that well out of the box speaks volumes about how natural and powerful they climb.

I would've bought a pair with rubber on the toe if I knew they were available.
