I got these shoes from S&C for the great deal and the reviews, in order of the reviews then the deal. I climb in them for a few months. They fit great and are super comfortable. I simply loved them. One thing I began to notice is I slipped constantly. I thought it was because I was not the Chris Sharma of rock climbing. I would slip off of what seemed to me an excellent toe or smear placement. I decided my wife needed my old shoes and I needed to try some new ones when a sweet pair of mad rocks kazamed as a deal. The rubber on the madrocks made a huge difference. I could actually climb a few grades higher simple because my foot was sticking to the rock better than ever. I would not buy the Montrail because the rubber is not soft enough to grip the rock.
