From Backcountry.com:
"Put on the Garmont Men's Sticky Cat Approach Shoes, and meet your friends for a full day of climbing. Garmont made these approach shoe's midsole with a medium durometer heel and midfoot for comfort while walking, and a firm durometer forefoot to compliment the sticky Vibram outsole. The Sticky Cat shoes give you support and impact protection while shouldering your gear on flat trails, and the technical scrambling ability you need for slabs and low-grade climbing. A firm insole sheet makes it easy to stand on etriers all day while aid climbing or belaying."
From Altrec Outdoors:
"Feel the agility of a mountain lion without the desire to nap in trees or hunt at night in the Garmont Men's Sticky Cat Hiking Shoe. As part of Garmont's integrated SR sole technology, the Sticky Cat features a Vibram Crossover outsole that holds on tight when relying on friction to get past a crux move. This outsole also offers deep lugs for trail approaches too. The laces start down at the toes for a performance fit that's similar to traditional rock shoes. Also similar to climbing shoes, the Garmont Men's Sticky Cat places firmer EVA material underneath the forefoot for a better feel on technical terrain, while the midfoot and heel sections are softer to handle long descents on rocky trails. For hauling a heavy backpack, the Sticky Cat also includes a firm EVA insole beneath the midfoot area to offer load bearing stability and long-term comfort. The upper consists of 1.8mm suede and mesh with a Garmont QDS (Quick Dry Synthetic) lining for negligible moisture build-up inside the shoe."

I'm the unfortunate owner of a pair of those shoes, which I bought thinking mainly in their scrambling aptitudes. Well I was wrong. The sole doesn't stick at all, plus the mesh lining on the side punctured after just one day out. They are confortable to hike on, but you will have to look out for good footholds when it gets steep."
