Disadvantages
This is what customers from around the world say:
I have very wide feet and they are slightly different, both pretty square but my right foot is a bit more Grecian with a longer 2nd toe. I have had a nightmare trying to find a pair of shoes that fit, break in pretty easily and have rubber that I like. I have the Evolve Shaman Pro also, they fit well but I find the Trax SAS rubber too hard for indoor (and they take forever to break in).
I am old now and squeezing my feet into a pair of tiny shoes like I used to 20 years ago is neither necessary or good for my aging feet! Gone through a few options, but I like these a lot and that is after 2 sessions :-)
Also, these look like they can be resoled pretty easily (Shamans are not possible at all...). All in all, I am really happy. Good support, snug fit, feel good on edges and sticky enough to smear on.
If you have wide feet that are fairly flat/square, then these are a good option. For size comparison, I wear a UK 11 in the Shaman and found the 10.5 to be a good fit for the Ozone HV. I have a pair of Scarpa Instinct VS-R in an 11 but they just feel a bit floppy and the 10.5 hurts my big toe because of the toe box shape.
Also like the 2 velcro strap system, feels more secure than the Instinct's single strap and the strap on the Shaman is a bit weird and looks like they will not stand the test of time.
