Good balance between comfort and toe box, and a lot more comfortable on cracks then most. For a comfortable shoe, you can get a pretty good toe on a ledge and it feels really good to walk around on these or leave them on if you are doing multi-pitch.

I just got a new pair of shoes ($20, it was closeout sort of deal, felt good at the time) and I would say, avoid these ones. (good thing they don't have it at MEC I guess)

I honestly hate them, it feels like a wooden shoe. I've been doing more 10b's then 10d's since I got this shoe just cause I can't get my foot on any sort of small feature, whereas I could on even the cheap evlov shoes (http://www.rei.com/product/751748)

PS : Is this the video you are talking about, the King Lines one? Man I want to go there

You must have to have balls of steel to dyno on lead though. I'd probably break an ankle trying to do that.
Yeah, that's King Lines. It's an awesome film.

I also really like the mythos shoes but I find the toe isn't aggressive enough for my bouldering so I went with the slipper I linked. If I had more money I would've bought a pair of mythos as well just for those long days.
