I used the Aleon for 3~6 months before wearing through.
The shoe is good for bouldering and small edges/smearing.
Excels in competition style climbing.

I had my original five ten Niad VCS shoes for over a year, they finally gave up and I thought I woudl try something new.. But these have lasted only a few months, I climb 2 times a week at most!!! Bonkers.
Not happy with the durability on these...

First Shoe - Bought Size 12 - Normal Shoe size 11
The shoe overall took a while to break in, even after a few sessions and warm showers to make them fit to my feet. Even after multiple sessions straps had to be on the front velcro to prevent air pocket under feet when loosely strapped on, proceeding in farting sound which was annoying.
After 4-5 months small hole appeared on right shoe at the toe. I've seen pictures of other climbers with similar problem. I am a beginner, only climbed for 8 months, level ranging around 6b to 7a. Hole may of came from me booting the wall a few times on accident so could be either me or the shoes fault. However, my friends who i started climbing with, their shoes have lasted atleast a couple months longer than my aleons so take that as you will.
Overall, quite happy with the shoe, was somewhat comfortable once 'broken in', performed well however, was a shame that they didn't last that long.
Again I am a beginner, so take my advice with a grain of salt, moving onto skwama's next, hope this helps :)
