Fuel Approach Shoes

Description

Engineered for days when the word “approach” actually involves full-on climbing, the Fuel is our most technical performance shoe. The Fuel’s upper combines breathable EnduroKnit, a durable stretch woven lateral panel, and welded TPU film overlays for maximum durability and precision fit. The internally overlapping tongue allows for fewer seams and a sleek comfortable fit with minimal bulk, while the lace-to-toe construction features webbing and scalloped eyelets for variable, adjustable fit and tensioning to suit different conditions. A climbing-specific forefoot construction allows for exceptional edge control and our BlackLabel Mountain rubber is ultra-sticky for superior grip on rock. Finally, a tag-loop on the heel and tongue gives you the option to clip the Fuels to your harness once you rope up.

Comfort for the trail

They are really comfortable for the trail hiking aspect, noting that I have a very large foot 14 extra wide. They work really well on a 5.6-7 route. I am very pleased with the quality of these shoes.

Climbs well

This is a very comfortable shoe that runs a touch short and is narrow in the toe box (the fit is ever so slightly more generous than the LS TX Guide for my feet). It is softer and less cushioned than the TX guide.
