This sticky puppy feathers the edge between approach shoe and climbing boot, offering beaucoup impact resistance, killer support and a snug, precise fit.
Features:
Fully randed toe box and FriXion® XT under the foot – sticky XF rubber in the “climbing zone” makes the B5 shine on easier routes
Save your knees: patent-pending Impact Brake System (IBS) lugs and softer AT lugs in the impact zones take the pain for you
Low-profile lacing system won't snag in cracks
Narrow chiseled toe box for amazing technical climbing performance
Finally: An approach-shoe hybrid that walks the talk!

So far, great shoe. Did some bouldering around Moab, and hiking at Zion. They are narrow and light, giving the feel of quickness and easy placement. I have read some issues about the sole adhesive not holding, but mine have been good for now.
