i've been climbing for 18 years, i've worn tonnes of different shoes and the Mugen is definitely one of my favorites. for edging its wicked. i can edge on everything and anything. outside especially. the rubber cant be beat. havent worn through the toe yet, maybe its just other peoples foot work that burns through them. as for them stretching and slipping in the heat, well no kidding, rubber does that, every shoe will. i actually find these preform better in warmer climates because the heat seems to open up the rubber a little for crazy stick. i think these shoes rock. a must have in my climbing bag.
I think the guy that wrote the last review is either an idiot or works for a competing company. The shoe fit great, stretched almost none and performed like a champ. It's a synthetic lined shoe one of the reasons I bought it was I can fit it for performance and it keeps that fit (no stretch). Its a stiffer shoe and edges on a dime (the thin side). No smell problems but maybe this other guys feet are like his reviews. They stink.
