Pro's:
Shape is excellent, especially after thermo-molding them. I have a relatively small heel which has been a problem with many shoes but these work fine.

Con's: Here we go...
First, what's up with the rubber?? Hard and terribly non-sticky. I'm hoping they will get better the more I break them in (had them for about a month now)... Resole with something better is definitely a must otherwise.
Second, same problem as so many other manufacturers seem to have in regards to sizing, have another model of Montrails size 36 that fit well, might even be a bit larger but 36 in these...is tiny small!! Be aware of that if you order them...

Third: I've heard stories that the velcro gives up on you after a little while but so far mine are ok, perhaps the pair is from the non-faulty batch.

I thought that CTX was a gimmick but the stuff does a really good job of holding you into the shoe. This is my first pair of velcro shoes and i am very impressed with the way the shoe holds to your foot. They are even a little hard to take off, but thanks to the two decently sized loops in the back it is pretty easy.
the oly thing that could use a little work is the rubber but i bet with one resole these will be a great all around shoe. I appreciate the versatility that they allow. They are extremely tight so when you are trying even the hardest boulder problems they can dime-edge and smear like a champ. They are also comfortable for longer trad routes. I think that montrail might be the next hyundai.

I have these and I use them mainly as my second pair of shoes. I have the 5-10 Coyotes and they are super comfy and I got these recently on proform and they are great. The heat molding helps form them to my foot and reduced the break in time, the one negative i will say is they seem to run about a 1/2-1 size smaller than my 5-10's which isn't bad because they are more for my shorter technical runs and the heel pocket is fantastic. Plus at $35 nobody can complain about a pair of shoes of this caliber.

Unlike my predecessors in this vein, unfortunately the problems with these shoes overshadow what few high points they have.

The Good:

This shoe edges fairly well, with the Velcro cranked down hard and also excels at toeing on minute features for which an edge is too small, and a smear useless. Furthermore another high point as others have noted is that the CTX moldable foam improves both fit and comfort. I have had previous issues of dead space in the heel cup of previous shoes and the CTX seemed to help me out in this regard making heel-hooks a much more valuable skill.

Another nice feature is the opposing Velcro closure in the middle of the shoe. This design seemed to be well thought out and allow for precise a precise and tight fit.

The Bad:

I climb a lot, sometimes, 7 days a week. Unfortunately as some have mentioned in the other review thread, these shoes have defective Velcro. That said when my first pair of shoe’s Velcro lost all closure strength within the first 1.5-2 months of climbing I was sent a new pair (under warrantee by montrail). The turn around on the new pair was great. A new pair of shoes was waiting for me in my local gear store. That said, I'm another 1.5-2 months into this pair and the Velcro, yet again, is starting to catastrophically fail. Serious quality control issues exist for these shoes and would advise anyone to stay away from this shoe. Great service or not, I can't climb on good intentions alone, combine this with a starving students budget shelling out big bucks for shoes that don’t perform goes beyond being a nuisance.

Furthermore, the rubber is significantly harder and less grippy than that of vibram (old formula, not the new XS Grip, or stealth C4) and smearing in this shoe is much more tenuous than need be.

Due to these glaring issues and the excessive price (comparable to La Sportiva Venoms where I live) the most generous rating I can give these shoes in good conscience is a 2.

These shoes are definitely comfortable, which should be a huge factor when you buy shoes, but there are some other issues with the shoes that need to be mentioned. First of all, the toes fit nicely into pockets which is a big advantage over the larger toe box of less aggressive shoes. And, the rubber is very soft, which makes it sticky. But, because it's so soft, it also has some problems...

The soft flex of the shoe, as well as the soft rubber make it pretty bad at edging in some situations (though this might only happen for me due to the shoe being slightly too big). Also, regardless of size, the rubber seems to take on excessive chalk, which makes it more slippery, especially on indoor climbing. At least that's what I've found on mine.

Again, it's a great fitting shoe with a nice heel and toe, but for edging it doesn't quite do the trick.
