If Climb X makes an all around shoe this would defiantly be my nominee for it. You can go from 5.11 slab to 5.13 overhang without changing shoes. Although I sized these to be comfortable I was not disappointed with their ability to still perform well. Not gonna lie I was rather scared at first about my choice, but I am very satisfied. These shoes are rather soft, but because of that they are great to use right out of the box. I personally like the fact of how sensitive these are, now it does cause a little foot fatigue on longer routes. Now I sized these the same as my Emotions which is an 8. Now the Emotions were tight almost to the point of being unbearable. However, the Zions are comfy with a slight curl in my toes. For a good performance shoe I would recommend going down 1.5 sizes. Personally I think I would go down to a 7 for these shoes to be a high performer. But in all for a well rounded and comfortable shoe I would go with a .5 or 1 downsize. In all this shoe is defiantly been upgraded from the 2010 model. So if you're looking for a new all rounder you should check this shoe out!
