Features
I tried these shoes and the fit is great for a medium to high volume feet. Mainly the heels are nice and roomy. BUt I can see that people with a narrow heel would have some lift problems.NIcely built, seems to be a quality shoe. The vibram outsole is sticky and with just enough traction for the rough road leading to the climb. I would not climb with it, like I would with D7's for example.
The styling in these shoes are kwel!

Comfy hikers!
While they certainly are more on the hiking end of approach shoes, I've climbed some easy technical rock in these and not been too concerned.
What does concern me about these shoes is the durability - the eyelet and other more-or-less cosmetic things like that, displayed wear and one eyelet pulled entirely after two or three trips out.
In all, comfortable as all get-up and climb well enough to get you to strictly technical terrain where you can throw the sticky rubber shoes on and get to dancin'
