It’s a very well balanced shoe but leaning towards the sensitive/soft side. Super comfortable. I climb mostly indoor and the kubo is great for both rope climbing and bouldering.

This shoe is exactly what I was looking for comfortable (by climbing shoe standards), good for a normal to slim foot and makes me feel more secure when climbing. Also they look great!!!
I’m just glad to finally find my own pair rather than using rentals as they will never give you the grip or security you need.
One thing I would mention is that it doesn’t have a good edge on the inside of the toe. Which is a bit of a shame as It would help with tiny holds. However I still find them a good shoe!!!
