Reviews overview

This is what other customers say:
I've been using these shoes for 4 months now for easy mountain walking, scrambling and via ferratas. They're a fantastic walking trainer for dry weather walking or attaching to your harness/stowing in your bag when you reach a climb.
Wind doesn't rip through them as you might expect, though you can feel the wind if it's a strong gust, water get's straight into them.
They're also a lot more supportive than expected, with no feeling that your foot is sliding off the edge of the sole on steep terrain, combined with the vibram sole they stick to rock which gives the overall feeling of confidence on sketchy ground.
As for sizing, they're very tight so I had to go a full size up (usually 39.5, found 40.5 the correct fit in these) you may need to try a few pairs before you find the exact size.
