Just received these in the mail yesterday. My buddy has had these for a few months and loves them (though he says they can get a bit painful on long big wall routes). I have used them for one session at the climbing gym, both bouldering and big wall. Thus far, I am enjoying them.
A little about sizing: I haven't quite figured out 5.10's sizing regulations... allow me to elaborate. My buddy owns a year old pair of 5.10 Piton's, size 8 1/2. They are broken in, and fit me perfectly. My street size is usually 9 - 9 1/2. My buddy's pair of Project's fit only slightly more snug than his Piton's... only the Projects are size 10 1/2. So I went ahead and ordered a 10 1/2 for my pair, which will fit perfectly after a couple weeks, I am thinking. To further complicate things, I also just purchased a pair of 5.10 Prisms, size 9 1/2...which happen to fit almost exactly as snugly as my new Projects in size 10 1/2 and as my buddies broken-in Pitons.
Anyways, I don't have much time on them yet, but loving them so far!
Food for thought!
