I have had these for almost two weeks now, and I love them. during my first few bouldering sessions I could only have them on for about 20 minutes at a time because it felt like my toes were so smashed (despite ordering one full size ABOVE my street size). But now, after wearing them for 5 or 6 sessions at the climbing gym (probably bouldered about 15 routes, used them on the big wall 9 or 10 times), they are almost completely conformed to my feet. I can wear these for hours at a time now, and switch between these as my new Prisms on the big wall.

One concern I had when purchasing these was that they would be almost TOO sensitive... I am newbie climber, and everyone else seems to think that these are for hardcore climbers who have been at it for years. Well, I disagree. Using these right off the bat as I get into climbing has quickly taught me what works and what doesn't, how foot placement should work, and where exactly the holds are when I am not looking down. In short, they have helped improve my climbing, not been an obstacle. GET THEM! But order up... I am 9 1/2 street, and had to get these in 10 1/2.
