The La Sportiva TX3 Approach Shoe for men is a versatile and functional option for climbers. The approach and climbing ability make this a top-choice for alpine adventurers to bring with them, especially due to the shoe’s comfort, durability, comfortable toe-box, and rugged ability to withstand a variety of terrain.
The Scarpa Mojito Shoe for men is a comfortable and low-profile approach shoe that has a good grip on rock and uneven terrain, but is best for moderate hikes and approaches, as it does not offer enough support for rugged use. The laces offer a lot of adjustment in the shoe for added comfort, but there is little breathability in the upper. Although this shoe looks a lot like a bowling shoe, people still enjoy wearing it from the crag to the town, and enjoy the unobtrusive style for the many years that this shoe lasts.
The Vasque Juxt Hiking Shoe for men is top-rated for its comfort and versatility, as it is able to take you just about anywhere, as long as it is not wet. This shoe does well on desert hikes because of its ventilation and stability, but does not preform well in snow, mud, or other slick surfaces, and does not offer any waterproofing. People love this shoe as a fantastically comfortable all-around option that can take you around town and on shorter hikes, but also as a hiking shoe that can be used on some short backpacking trips because of its lightness and good traction in most settings. It is recommended to try on this shoe before purchasing because of the narrower toe box (wide sizes are available).
The La Sportiva Boulder X Approach Shoe for men is ideally suited for those who need a durable, supportive, and stiff approach shoe that is suitable for crack climbing and smearing, all without breaking the bank. We don’t recommend this option for climbers who carry their shoes over a long route, will be climbing small cracks and edges, or are looking for shoes to perform in small pockets.
