Pros: Good down-sized fit, excellent edging and toe holds, good heel grip, decent smearing on clean granite (see "cons"), inexpensive.
Cons: Poor smearing on sandy rock, surprisingly dicey stepping on a chalked hold (bizarre but true---night and day difference from my Mythos), the Jerry Garcia LSD sun design is distracting (but black spray paint took care of that), funky-ass stinky smell (I keep each shoe in a Zip-loc bag full of baking soda which helps).
