Love

I needed a full size up in these shoes. They took me about a month to break in, pretty stiff at first but now I’m so happy with them! I’ve had a lot of approach shoes over the years and these are one of the best. Very sticky sole, good even on loose rock. Would definitely buy another pair. And they’re beautiful too!

Fit to size

I bought these shoes to do the grand teton in 6 months. They fit true to size (I’m a Women’s 5.5). I took them to the climbing gym and seems to be sturdy and sticky for an approach shoe. There’s still snow on the ground so I haven’t tried them on real rock or approaches. But so goat so good!
