Pros: SUPER grippy, excelent edge and good enough toeing. The toecap is good enough for cracks if they dont go too deep and the heel can handle basic heel hooks where you don't need to haul your hole weight with it. They are wide and tall at the toebox, so nice for someone who always wears barefoot shoes like me. After a few months in socks they became smooth and flexible enough inside to be quite comfy without socks.
Cons: sizing - My foot is 25cm long so I wear women's 39 in ordinary womens shoes, 40 in mens' shoes and in these a 41.5 is bruising my toe! Their edging stiffness and toe cap makes them NOT stretch at all lenght wise so I will deffinately buy size 42 next time.
On my foot, the straps can't get the shoe snug enough for some harder heel hooks: the shoe pulls off.
