Nifty! Sounds like you made a very thoughtful choice. La Sportiva make some lovely shoes.

(FWIW, one of the SRS BSNS women climbers at the wall where I climb wears Nagos, and they certainly don't seem to be holding her back.)

The laces mean they take a bit longer to get in and out of, but also that I can tighten them as they stretch, and adjust the pull on the pressure points on my feet.

*nods a lot* It's a big advantage of lace-ups.
