Used them at a la sportiva demo, didnt think too much of them. The rubber on the upper aggravates my knuckle.
The testa rossa is supposed to conform more to your foot with the rounded edges but honestly I just felt odd and didn't notice too much. I did only wear them for about 30 mins.

Ended up trying the muira vs also and fell in love. Wore them for about an hour, so much more comfortable while still being aggressive.

best hard shoe out there for folks with big arches. . .

My favorite shoe for hard short(er) projects.

Used them a great deal for harder technical things. Great for feeling small edges. Also nice for pulling on steep terrain.

I really like them, not great for toe hooking but seems to do everything else really well. Toe box is a little weird so be sure to try them on first.

Yep I like em too, especially for hard sport or bouldering at my limit.

The heel sux though

Amazing shoe. I have had many pairs over the years. More recently I prefer the Skwama or Genius as, IMO, both break in quicker and have the same sensitivity.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
