Comfortable and preciseBut after climbing in them a while I'm pretty impressed. They edge and smear pretty well for an "all day" shoe. They are comfortable in cracks. I like the XS Grip rubber too.
Sizing: My toes are somewhat wide and I have narrow heels. My feet measure 9.5 US / 42.5 EU and the left is a little longer than the right (I'm told that's typical for right-handed people). Initially I bought a pair of these in 41.5, thinking they would stretch after a few days of climbing, but that didn't happen -- too tight. Later I went with size 42 instead, which is about perfect for me.
