can anyone provide some input on how these compare to the vipers?...

By Ranked #498 - Climbing Shoes February 25, 2009

can anyone provide some input on how these compare to the vipers? is there a significant difference? or, are they very close to being the same shoe? also, would those of you who've used them recommend them for steep sport climbing only. or, are they primarily a bouldering shoe that can be used for steep sport?

I would say that they are just at home on steep sport and bouldering...kinda similar in my mind. They are just a bit more aggressive, i.e. downturned then the Vipers were.
