I recently got a pair of these (my brother brought them back from Singapore - shoes were really cheap over there). I haven't used them much as I've been taking a break from climbing (sore fingers), but so far they've been pretty good. They fit my foot really well and are very similar to the anasazi velcro last (I've got these too) and also the heel cup is not as big as the anasazis (good for me, because I have a small heel). I think the hard/soft friction sole is more of a gimmick and from what I've heard from other people it wears out quickly. But they do edge and smear very nicely. Personally I find them as good as my anasazi velcros and they're much cheaper. The only thing is their durability - I'll have to wait and see.
