Pros: Stiff, true to size for us regular width ppl. If you have wide feet go with the 5.10s. Hard rubber that has surprisingly good grip. I was scoping out lines on steep large boulders and was planted. The 5.10 rubber is softer but I hear they wear like crap. Also, the divits in the Link's rubber is better for the pedal pins than the 5.10s stealth. I didn't feel the 5.10s I had were too sticky like the reviews I read. I think the Links are on par in the grip dept. They are comfortble. Although they felt like payless skate shoe quality in your hand, wearing and biking in them proved otherwise. The quality sure is there. The ion mask thing (aka water repellent treatment) is a nice touch as I noticed my pack dripped water onto the shoe and it splashed off. But it's not neccessary unless if they make a mud repellent treatment.
Cons: Color choice. Good thing they supplied grey laces with the lunar color. No place to tuck long laces away after you make the rabbit go through the hole. I already got them muddy 🙁 New colors coming in '13 so that's good!
