Best shoe to date..

Voted 5/5

for me...have used for the past year. Once they are broke in, they will become your best friend, whether on short sport or 10 pitch walls. Backcountry.com has an excellent price on womens at the moment. I climb full time and abuse the hell out of any shoes I own and my sole started coming off the Miura quicker than softer soles but you can't have your cake and eat it too. Very technical though, super suction when you curl your toes on an upward reach. Takes a little while to break in as all good shoes do. Nice sticky and hard rubber. Need to make them a tad more durable if they can. Might have improved the sole by now. All the fad in Canada during the summer of 2006.

Voted 5/5	I currently spend most of my time on more technical 'nubbiny' climbing (Smith Rock - Oregon) - not bouldery, powerful climbs (I ain't GOT the power) and not as much crack/trad as I would like. I purchased this shoe with a few things in mind - technical edging ability (stellar), comfort (passable but who cares - sometimes climbing is supposed to be painful), and crack climbing capability (do-able but definitely not the best shoe for this). For what I do, this is a great shoe. Blows all my previous shoes out of the water on edging capability. I'll be buying this shoe for a long time based on this alone. Comfort is always highly dependent on the individual - everybody's feet are different and everyone has a different pain threshold. These fit my feet well, break in nicely, and will only get more comfortable as time goes on. Cracks - I doubted these would work at all at first. The technical, toes-curled fit looked like it would be excruciating - and it would be for any extended crack pitches. Despite this, on the few cracks I've done in these, they have performed well and been much more comfortable than I anticipated. Granted, the cracks I have done have been either O/W or thin hands/fingers so I haven't really cranked hard on my feet like you will in a hands/fist size crack. Short answer - satisfactory. One minor issue - I have some minor delamination issues going on right now after about 8 months of weekend climbing. This is either poor footwork or slight construction issues - either way it is not severe enough to have me doubting the quality enough to give less than 5/5.
