Great for maneuvering on small footholds due to stiff rubber.
Not great for smearing as rubber isn't very soft.
I recommend for sport climbing and if you want a to add a pair of stiff shoes to your bouldering kit.

One of the best shoes I had that is still comfortable. The fitting wasn't easy since they have different sizes than other models, by after finding it, I love it. Specifically, it's excellent on tiny edges, heel hooks, and smearing.

perfect both for climbing and bouldering (up to 6c, from limestone to granite) but I do not suggest to take smaller size than your "true size" (maybe except if plan to use it for bouldering exclusively, otherwise even half-size up should be ok thanks to adjustable lacing)
