So light, the rubber is soooo sticky! These and the runners are definitely my two top choices for performance and comfort!

Pros:1. By far the most comfortable shoes I've worn. I have wide forefoot and a narrow heel, plus my big toe is slightly shorter than my second toe, which makes finding shoes quite a tricky process.2. Good, soft sole for smearing.3. Not overly aggressive geometry and flexible sole suits a variety climbs.Cons:1. Sole rubber is not durable. The big toe edge of the sole wore away after 2 month, and a hole has developed on both toes at 7 months in. I've relied on the rubber toe patch for edging for the past 5 months. I really wish they would drop the whole "military-grade" rubber nonsense and use rubber that has been tested by rock climbers.2. Disappointing build quality.

I've had to glue it back up on both feet.General impression:I really like the fit of the shoes, which makes them perfect for longer indoor sessions, and performs well from slabs to roofs. However, I am very disappointed in the the short lifespan and somewhat poor construction, and I just can't bring myself to buy another pair until So Ill makes some improvements. These are the only shoes I've worn that has not made it to a full year.

As most stated it's a very comfortable shoe. Great shape and the soft rubber is nice on the walls.Soft rubber also lasts 5 months max. Good for a litte while, overall not worth the price.

I bought these three months ago (along with the So Ill Kick model) and I while these are not as cozy, I prefer them for their feel and predictability. I have fairly narrow feet and these fit well, I wish they were a bit more "suction cup" feeling in the mid-sole like Sportiva P3 shoes. Nice sticky rubber on the heel and toe to really dig into hooks. Sensitive feel, nice pointed toe for micro holds or pocket precision. After a 4-6 weeks of break-in period (a 10-12 laps at the gym per week) with these shoes, they are actually decently comfortable, not stretched but worked in. I got them in a size 12.5 US for an aggressive fit. As a reference point, my So Ill Kick shoes are 11.5 US and my Sportiva Finale shoes are 12 US. I wear an 11.5/12 US shoe size for everyday ... MoreI bought these three months ago (along with the So Ill Kick model) and I while these are not as cozy, I prefer them for their feel and predictability.

Size up a half size for a good aggressive fit that may take some break-in time to become "comfortable".
Bought these as a gym shoe, sized 1/2 size up and shoe was snug and molded really well to my foot and the rubber was nice and sticky. Unfortunately, the shoe started to fall apart about a month and 1/2 in of wearing them (granted this was with climbing indoors about 3-4 times a week so take that as you will). The rubber started separating from the sides and the toes busted open about 5 months in. Wish they lasted longer.
I've been using this shoe in the gym and outside for a few months since my last set of climbing shoes developed a hole too big to patch. They were decently comfortable right off the bat and didn't take long to break in at all. They perform really well on overhang problems in the gym but can be used in lots of different situations. The one thing I will say is that the midsole is pretty flexible which makes standing on little footholds for long periods difficult. I'd recommend these, but especially to people who like to boulder indoors.
I've had these since January and have already put a hole in one toe and the seems are coming apart in various locations. I've climb about 2-4 times indoors per week since I bought them. For reference I had the Scarpa Force X before these and they lasted me close to a year with no issues.They do look really good and are sticky as heck but I just don't think the durability is there.Comfort - 4/5Look - 5/5Performance - 5/5Durability - 1/5
Like others have pointed out, these shoes are quite comfortable, sensitive and very light weight. I really enjoyed using these shoes while they lasted. Unfortunately I put holes in the toes in 4 months. I super glued the holes and a few other parts of the shoes that were coming apart, because these were my babies, but that only lasted so long.
Bought these so I could have a pair of indoor gym shoes and have been climbing these for just over a month (3+ days a week) since they came out. What a good looking shoe!Fit-Compared to my Scarpa Instinct VS I had to go up a full street shoe size. The Heel in my VS' is near perfect so I don't have ridiculously narrow heels but in my So.Ill's it's like a flat tire. Heel hooking requires a lot more pressure to 'lock' it in.Due to the synthetic upper there's not much room to adjust/break in so buy with just a bit, and not too much 'give' in mind.Use-The Rubber on the shoe is super grippy and out of the box before they get chalked or dirty the feeling is incredible. Clean your rubber after climbing and you'll love it.The rubber, despite its grip, seems to ... MoreBought these so I could have a pair of indoor gym shoes and have been climbing these for just over a month (3+ days a week) since they came out.

Clean your rubber after climbing and you'll love it.The rubber, despite its grip, seems to also have some durability as my edge has stayed around unlike other shoes I've tried with this amount of wear.Durability-Base is looking good, but the inside edge is getting some delamination happening around the rand near inside edge of the toe to upper. Probably a one off defect.Tl;DR - Average fit, Good stick, Great looks.
I got those shoes on their Kickstarter. I have been climbing for 10 years and I never had a shoe Light like this before. The fit is perfect, snug and perfectly aggressive! The rubber is amazing!!! Sincerely I will buy those shoes again!!
