Fitting the shoe is awesome, toss it in the oven and slip it on and you are done breaking them in. The shoe didnt last long at all, the rubber blows out quick along with the seams of the shoe.

I have mixed feelings about this shoe. The CTX in the toe and heel are wonderfull. A few minuits in the oven and you have a few weeks of breaking in done with. The synthetic upper keeps the shoe from stretching much at all, allowing the toes to stay perfectly knuckled for the life of the shoe. BUT, that being said, the shoe doesnt last long, or atleast the velcro doesnt. My velcro was flapping in the wind in just around 6 months. As soon as it started failing on route I sent them in on warranty. So far, customer service has been kind. One other gripe I have is with the rubber. It peels rather quickly, but that may just be my climbing style. All things considered, if the velcro were better it would be a GREAT all day shoe, impressive for something that knuckled IMO.
