Rating: rated 5 of 5 stars
Materials: leather
Use: all kinds of climbs
Break-in Period: one or two uses
Price Paid: $150

I just started using this shoe and right away I liked it. I rated as high as the Katana, although this one is a lace up, and has rubber on the top to jam better in cracks. It is very technical, great edging, so can be used both in cracks and face climbs. Out of the 7 pair of shoes that I own, this one is on the top two.
