Too aggressive...as if that's a bad thing. These shoes are great for overhangs! The down-turned toe is a real plus for clinging on to small jigs on ceilings....unfortunately the same cannot be said for completely vertical surfaces.

It took me a while to get used to the Booster in comparison to my Katanas, but I've grown to love them. Overall, it's a great shoe for the aggressive climber...but beginners beware.
