The Best Approach and Route Setting Shoe
These are my 5th pair of this shoe.
I use them for crag approaches and for routesetting.
The last a long time and are comfortable. They also have a good solid front edge for easy climbing.
I look forward to some other colours!

The design has changed
This is the 3rd pair of these approach shoes I have bought and I am disappointed with the changes made. The sole is stiff making for a less comfortable walk. The tongue is made of net so definitely won’t shed water. The last pair were not sold as waterproof but I never got wet feet. The shaped insole is replaced with a flat foam piece and a stiff piece above the heel chafes, larger and narrower than the originals.
- Disadvantages
- Too stiff
