Boulder

While the manufacturer"s description makes this shoe sound like a happy marriage of a comfortable approach shoe and a sticky climbing shoe.....it is actually a raging divorce ; insults are flung and abuse abounds.!!! They are simply too narrow, have too little padding and are too stiff to walk in comfortably for much of any distance. Once on the rock they are actually poor performers. The result is that you have an "Approach" shoe that is irritating as a climbing shoe to walk in, AND is as poor as a Trail shoe to climb in. To describe them in a single word I would have to say "NOTWORKING".!!!!!!!!!!!! Although I got them for half price, I did not find even that value in them and Gave Them Away !!!!!

I've had just the opposite feeling of bigwally about mine. My feet fit perfectly in them (maybe mine are narrow) and find them very comfortable. I've also found the they are great for warm up climbs, have had no problems climbing 5.7 in them and the rubber sticks for me. probably just different foot shape, but try them on and walk around in them in the store, because obviously some people hate them and some love them.

Comfortable for lower class bouldering, but not completely trustworthy. No arch support for long approaches. I found I never wore them, I'd rather wear trail shoes and carry my climbing shoes.

I am not happy with these shoes. While their rubber is pretty sticky for easy bouldering or talus hopping, they are far from comfortable for longer approaches. They are too narrow for most of people's feet and seriously lack ankle support. Not to mention that my shoes started to fall apart after 3-4 trips. I will never buy these again! Get yourself a pair of trail-runners and rock-shoes, it is worth it!
