Expert Reviews

• The outsole aids in edging and smearing, increasing the performance benefits of this shoe.
• The toe box has extra room to prevent your feet from jamming against the front while climbing.
• The midsole aids in shock absorption for use on tough terrain.
• The knit upper provides a snug and secure fit to prevent slipping.
• Contains deeper lugs at the center and heel of the shoe for enhanced grip capabilities.
• The rubber around the heel and the midfoot helps keep the shoe snug when you tighten the laces, eliminating any hot spots or loose sections.

User Reviews

• The shoes run smaller than expected, so you need to try-on in person or order a 1/2 size larger online.
• The shoe does not provide enough warmth or protection during cold weather due to the mesh upper.

Expert Reviews

• The laces are quite short, so they prevent you from lacing the shoes tighter for a performance fit.
• The thicker midsole that aids in shock absorption and hiking also make this shoe a little bulky for climbing on small edges and cracks.
• You may find this shoe too loose if you have a low-volume or extremely narrow foot shape.
• Not the best shoe if you are looking for a climbing-only option, since it sacrifices performance for versatility.
