From Backcountry.com:
"Rest on a dime in your Montrail Magnet Climbing Shoe. These climbing shoes feature Montrail's stickiest rubber, Gryptonite HT, and thermo-moldable foam built into the upper so you can customize your fit. The Magnet's Gryptonite soles combine extremely high friction with hardness, so you stick to the rock face like, well, a magnet to metal, yet these soles will hold up to lots of wear. Montrail's thermo-moldable foam lets you get a superb tight fit, which will give you more power and better pressure distribution than the average climbing shoe. Heat them in an oven and then put them on to mold them or just allow them to mold to your feet over time both methods work. An edging platform under your forefoot enhances stability and power, a flexible heel lets you move and flex as needed to dance up that face, and the pointed toe lets you wedge into cracks and pockets."

From US Outdoor Store:
"Description of Montrail Magnet Climbing ShoeThe Montrail Magnet Climbing Shoe is made with thermo moldable foam technology that custom molds around the contours of your feet for a more precise and comfortable fit.

"Great shoe for the price. I sized these the same as my street shoes, but would recommend sizing 0. 5 to 1 full European shoe size smaller as the shoes do stretch a bit. The toe box fits wider than the Scarpa and Sportiva designs, which for me is more comfortable."
