Very comfortable, easy to wear around all day, and probably great for trad and big wall type stuff. Stealth rubber is very sticky and smears like crazy.
I didn't find them to edge particularly well; the rubber could probably stand to be a touch harder to prevent wear; I prefer the speed lacing system to get a really good fit on my foot.
An all around great beginning shoe. I bought this as my first climbing shoe, and it has been great. Great rubber. Great smearing. Comfortable. Durable (2 years of climbing on them pretty regularly and they look new.)
Not so good with pockets or any small little ledges. Leather has stretched so much in 2 years that I almost cannot lace them up any tighter.
I am new to climbing and this is my first shoe. So far it has been great. It has been durable through about 6 months of heavy climbing. Overall a great shoe for the price.
I give it a 4 because it could probably use a little more 'stickiness' in its sole.
