I picked up my CTC's over a pair of Vasque Velocity's rather grudgingly back in May, and never looked back. They've been absolutely awesome in all situations, from easy climbing to trail running to just strolling around town. I haven't worn any other shoes since, yet these shoes, though dirty and somewhat cosmetically damaged, show no sign of giving up soon. And even after 8 or so months, the climbing tread at the bottom still exists in a big way. My kudos to Montrail for another awesome shoe.

I sized down quite a bit when i bought these shoes, and first time climbing in them, one climb was enough because they hurt so much. But i sucked it up and now i couldn't be happier. Still have to fight to get them on, but the edging on these shoes is awesome, and the slight turn down of the toe helps tons on the overhangs. The big beefy heel cup and the rhino hide on the velcro are great for heel hooking and toe hooking as well, and the rubber is super grippy. A definite consideration for a slightly more aggressive shoe.
