Very good, I use them on steep slopes and they do a great job of providing the traction I need. They look amazing and appear to be made from great materials. I have 2 issues with them: First, the wide width isn't exactly wide. They feel like a standard width and that's how I feel on my feet too, making them a bit uncomfortable when worn for a very long period of time. Secondly, the heel is a bit low and very stiff so at one point it slipped and slipped a bit again. and I cut my heel pretty badly. If you wear low tops or thick socks and your feet aren't particularly wide, I highly recommend these shoes.
