In reply to climb the peak:
I tried the UP rise and honestly after trying them over a year both indoors and out I went back to 5.10 and just bought half a size bigger than I used to.
The UP shoe I was using just felt way worse at edging, was less sensitive and also somehow less supportive. I had a really bad season 'mentally' last year where I was terrified on basically all my harder trad routes and it was only over the winter when I tried going back to the Anasazi that I realised it was all because of my shoe.
Gutted because I hate these evil megacorporations as much as the next guy and was looking forward to supporting 'the little guy' but oh well :/
edit: forgot to mention the build quality of my shoes was fine, so not sure if you got a bad pair of shoes
