I like this shoe. It is stiff enough for long days of trad climbing, but comfortable enough to wear for a session at the gym. They have fairly sticky rubber, and the lined tongue is nice. They are somewhat wide, so people with narrow feet should look at a different shoe. Also, they are not the best for cracks, as they don't have a very narrow toe. It is actually somewhat wide.
