Don't Demo

Save your money - don't demo these shoes. I demoed a pair a few months back and went out that week to buy myself a pair. These things are just a great all around shoe for guys with skinnier feet. I use mine for bouldering, top roping, and lead climbing. Like others mentioned, the heel hooks extremely well (assuming you sized your shoes right) and the toe smears well too. I've been able to confidently stand up on some pretty small holds with nothing but a toe on these shoes! Definitely a necessity for tough bouldering problems. As for durability - so far these shoes have held up great, no complaints there.

If you've got skinny feet and are looking for a shoe to step up to some tougher routes look no farther.
