LBS
Strengths:
I've had the shoes 2 months, and liked them until today. Shoe is very comfortable, natural rubber sole grips slick rock and loose terrain easily. Shoes are much lighter than the Vibram sole models. BOA lacing system worked great until I couldn't adjust the tension.
Weaknesses:
The protective sleeve covering the stainless steel cable is worn away. Shoe's don't tighten or loosen easily. I had to take off the BOA cap, unwind the cable, and then use extreme force to get the cable loose. I have narrow feet, perhaps tightening the shoe to fit my feet, and the winding of the cable, has caused abrasion to sleeve? I think the ratchet and velcro of my Sidis works easier.

Bottom Line:
Very comfortable shoe. Rubber soles grip slick rock. Shoe may be great for those with normal width feet. They also make a wide shoe, but nothing in the narrow width. There is a 1 year guarantee, so we'll see if they replace the cable.
