I'm looking to buy these shoes for my all around gym climbing. vertical, but mostly slightly overhung to very over hung. I know they can handle the extreme steep over hangs, but do they work well on the vertical and slightly steeper routs and problem?

These are a bit more technical shoe. They would be great, but they will be a pain for the first little while. They have a fairly extreme arch that is tough to get used to, or to wear for long periods of time. I used these on both steep, and overhung problems, and they were wonderful. They feel a bit more at home with the overhanging stuff, but they really impressed me all around. Very sticky, very accurate, totally enhanced my gym climbing. Just know, if you ever do much trad or big walls...dont bring these. These shoes will make Your feet scream but you'll definitely be envied by fellow climbers with the Scarpa boosters power.
