This is what other customers say:
I do 6-7 UIAA so can't exactly tell you about how this would behave on Bibliographie, but this is a great shoe for beginner-to-intermediate face, slab and crack. Very precise on small edges, not very smeary though (the rubber is harder than XS Grip, and the last is partially rigid). Probably sucks at overhangs due to the straight, rather rigid last, but that's a design choice.
Fit is medium-wide (I have very wide feet and need to have the ball-of-foot velcro strap almost untied, but it worked). I bought them same size as my street shoe but a half-size lower would have also worked were it not for the wideness issue. Once I adjusted them properly, they were incredibly comfortable - could definitely wear them on an all-day big wall climb, once I start doing all-day big wall climbs ;) I don't know if it's the memory foam they brag about, but I've had less comfortable sneakers.
