Review by: BornGhost, 2007-10-15
I bought these over the 5.10 Coyotes due to the Coyotes not fitting my heel properly. Got them for roughly $59 with a student discount at EMS. After 3 months of use, they are becoming pretty much useless. The rubber lacks the grip needed for small footholds and is also wearing down quickly from failed attempts at smearing, which these shoes are horrible at. The only advantage to them is that they're a good shoe to buy if you're not sure that you'll be sticking with the sport, they're cheap, and they lace up, so you can get them nice and tight all the way up your foot. I plan on replacing these within the next month or two for a pair of shoes with stickier rubber.
