I work at a camp outside Durango, CO and got the Venoms for a very good deal. I used them bouldering, gym climbing, and a few sport leads and they climbed like a dream! I used them on sand stone in Durango, limestone, and some of the toughest, sharpest granite at Vedauwoo, Wyoming and they have not failed me yet! However, I forgot my normal trad shoes on a trip and had to use my Venoms and I thought I was going to die from the pain, as the Venoms are enemies to the trad climbing world.
The interior lining on the right shoe is a little frayed after 6 months of regular use, but it doesn't mess with the shoes performance a bit. I highly recommend this shoe for sport climbing and it is by FAR the best bouldering shoe and even gym shoe I have ever seen or used in my life.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! IT IS WORTH THE EXTRA MONEY!!!

I have the Focus Speed harness not AL and love it it is about $18 dollars more but worth it. It has more gear loops,padding,and overall no double backing! I would recommend it to anyone.
