Anyone used these? Do they size similar to instinct vs or boostic, albeit with a different fit? And lastly, are they any good on vertical stuff and smear or are they just tools for the steep stuff?

I have sized these the same as the instinct vs. Not as good on really steep stuff as the instinct vs but more precise on UK limestone and they work really well on the grit. If they fit your feet I think you will be impressed.

I went half a size down from my Boostics when I got the new Stix. I like them but don't feel they're quite as good as the boostics. Toebox feels too rounded when you're on something with demanding footholds!

I tried some today and the toe box felt too roomy for me. Shame as they seemed nice apart from that!
