Strength:
None These shoes fit me fine and feel very technical especially on small edges and toe/heel hooks, less so on smears but then they are not meant for that. The value rating I have given does reflect the low price I paid but the full price is not much more. A note on fit- Foot shapes differ greatly fom person to person, try shoes on before you decide:- if they don''t fit don''t buy them! Customer Service not used Similar Products Used: Boreal Stingers |

Strength:
None Great shoes! I was using Boreal Diablos beforeI bought my Dos Equis. There are no words to discribe the difference. These are definately a more technical shoe. The only draw back is that i thought that the shoes would stretch a little, they don''t. But aside from that they are great. I rely on toe strength and these shoes can stand on anything. Make sure to resole when rubber gets worn out, because you will see a definite drop in performance. Similar Products Used: Ninjas, Boreal Diablos |

Weakness:
None These shoes are not great. They''re a strange shape - too curved from toe to heel, meaning that the toe is painfully bent down, and there is too much room in the heel. If you go a couple of sizes down, then yes, they''ll fit like gloves but put any weight on the toe and you''ll be in agony. Also, with them this tight, you''ll need to use the tabs to pull them on and take them off - but these are so badly designed I ripped the tab off by accident, just after buying them, whilst climbing. Good idea, velcro makes them fit right, but in summary they''re too curved and not well enough put together. This is a shame, as once they''re on and you ignore the pain, they really do perform well. Customer Service Excellent - very helpful, especially when I had to return the shoes Similar Products Used: Red Chilli Sausolito |

These shoes are not any good, plain and simple. The toe is really tight. They are curved to far down. And I have never had so much room in my heal. If you are not dealing with heal hooks and have a very narrow foot and dont care how bad your feet hurt while you are climbing these will do fine need less to say these didnt last long. Spend some more money and go with Borel Zens. |

these are the best shoes i have ever used. cost me £70 irish. they are extremly precise, will stick to anything and are very sensitive. i sized mine small, about 2 sizes less than my street shoes. this makes them very uncomfortable to walk in, but improves performance 100%. if your feet fit, buy them.

I like the shoe a lot. It is technically a very good climbing shoe. But the rubber at the heel is torn next to the attachment to pull the shoe on. On the front the fabric is torn as well(on a place that never touches the rock). Similar Products Used: None |
