I've used the Indos exclusively outside on Colorado granite and sandstones for the past 3 months. I've been very impressed with them, they scum super well and edge decent enough for anything but thinner slabs. Great heel and toe-hooking. The Zenith is a soft rubber, I think they'll last me another 9 months of weekly outdoor sport and bouldering. Pretty comfortable in the heel and midfoot, but the additional toe rubber is very restricting on my toes which locks them in for good control but can be uncomfortable after a long sport climb. I wear a 9.5 US hiking and downsized very little to a 8.5UK for anyone wondering about sizing.
A very informative review of an interesting shoe. At my age, I really appreciate more comfort and not having to slip the heels off every few minutes for respite. I usually like Butora shoes for that reason too. Performance and comfort are a delicate and difficult balance in my opinion.
When I first saw the title, I wondered what factors make this shoe stand out for indoor use. Now I understand. Thank you for the excellent review, Rob!

that's upsizing, no?

Comfort is a really underrated feature in our eyes and performance doesn't have to come at the cost of it 🙏

Apologies, I should have covered this in the video, but what @mikafull has posted is right - they're usually a single UK size down (or thereabouts).
