They're Mad Rock, one of the beginner ones. I don't remember seeing the model name anywhere obvious so I don't know which one while not looking at them though I'm sure it says somewhere. They were orange and had velcro? Looking at the MadRock website, they were probably the Flash -- the store did have a model that they said was specifically a woman's shoe but it wasn't it, so probably Flash and not OnSight.
And that's about all the report I can give without getting to climb in them for an hour -- they seemed reasonably solid on the footholds on the pole and when I tried stepping up on the box-tables they had in the store using very little of my toe I was able to do so using very little of my toe, so they seem nicely stiff and solid and felt tight but not too painful for the time I had them on, which wasn't very long.
I also tried out a pair of Evols in the store but those felt uncomfortably tight and when I went up a half size still felt like they pinched in the toe even though they looked wider than the MadRocks and didn't feel as stable around the ankle so I didn't get 'em.
