Your post is rather confusing to me... Did you mean any ideas or rather any opinions on the LaSportiva Solutions? If the latter, I know a lot of people that like them a lot. Mostly boulderers doing hard problems on overhanging rock - the aggressive downturned toe is good for that. I've heard it's also good on steep sport routes. As such, it's not going to be the most comfortable shoe out there. So it depends on what you're looking for.
Did this help?

they are perfectly comfortable if you size them reasonably and are somewhat used to downturned shoes.
sizing shoes extra small is kind of an old fashioned idea. shoes are built much better now and can be sized without killing yourself

What I meant by saying they aren't the most comfortable shoes is that you wouldn't want to spend all day in them (or at least I wouldn't) like you can in less aggressive shoes.

if they fit you and you aren't doing slab then they are good.
