Anyone tried these? They look nice and spec-wise sound good. They come in pretty cheap as well. They have been worn to onsight 9a (even if it was by an uber-beast) so surely they must be at least ok? How do they come up sizewise to Solutions, etc?

only tried in the shop and never tight enough to be honest (they didn't have my exact size).

anyway it feels as follows:

-moderate downturn
-soft, sensitive
-mid/narrow and "straight" last (not a lot of asymmetry)
-deep yet narrow, very tensioned and moderately stiff heel.
-nice comfy material (stretchy synthetic)

the only major problem i see is that it uses 1st generation xs grip rubber - by far the shortest lasting rubber i've ever seen...
