I've used these for one season and really liked them. I'm a beginner, but found these easy to use right out of the box - they were sharp not like Grivel products. I've used them with duel and mono front points. Easy to change out with included tools. I use these for technical water ice, not for mountaineering.

Coming back from an injury my orthopod suggested that I get a pair of shoes that don't compress my feet so much. Normal climbing shoes compress the bones and structure of your feet in order to give you more control. But that compression leave you more vulnerable to injury because there is less give in the foot if you fall on it. I took these shoes to the gym yesterday and was amazed at what I could climb with them. They edged really well even on small holds and they smeared fine. At the level I climb (10ish) I may not need go back to normal shoes. They're really comfortable. I don't wear them around town because of the sticky rubber wearing out, but I'm sure they would be great for approach.

Works fine but seems to me to be overly complicated. Too many parts. Too many parts that are plastic. They make a maintenance kit because you're going to need one.
