These La Sportiva shoes are exactly what you want on your feet when the line between hiking and rock climbing becomes blurred. The Cirque Pro Shoes are also great for an impromptu urban buildering session on your way back from catching a movie."

From REI:
"One shoe to rule them all! The amazing Cirque Pro approach shoes from La Sportiva take you to and up the rock with equal fervor. Combination split-grain leather and Lorica synthetic leather uppers for lasting performance and breathable comfort. Beefy 360 Frixion rubber rands protect feet and uppers while enhancing smearing and edging in the vertical world. Soft padded ankles and tongues with wicking nylon linings protect feet from lace pressure and absorb excess moisture for quick drying. Patented Mythos to-the-toe lacing system locks feet in for a more precise fit; heel and toe loops aid entry and storage. Removable EVA footbeds add extra cushioning to board-lasted micropore EVA midsoles, delivering all-day cushioned comfort. Flexible 2mm polypropylene midsole supports offer extra stability on rough terrain and extra support while edging. Sticky Frixion XF/Dot rubber outsoles grab rock tenaciously and offer superb climbing performance on steep routes."

The Cirque Pro is a true technical approach shoe; the proof is in the sticky rubber, sensitive EVA sole, to-the-toe lacing, perfect-fit heel cup, and intense rubber rand for unmatched edging.

Men's Cirque Pro
Reviewed by Hikergrrl, Feb 02, 2008

"We women don't have much to chose from, but this shoe fits very well! I'm a women's 9, and the men's 7. 5 seems to work. I've been a runner for over a decade and a half, so I'm used to very comfortable shoes. Combine that with having long toes and a wide foot at the toe end makes me hate just about any climbing shoe."

"I bought this shoe to bridge the gap between my old hiking boots and climbing shoes. I do plenty of hiking and a good amount of bouldering and scrambling around on rocks, but didn't feel like spending the money to buy rock climbing shoes AND new boots - so I got these."

"I've owned the shoes for about a month and used them for an ascent of Grand Teton. They served me very well.

They're almost suspiciously comfortable, and feel more like slippers than shoes."

"What an awesome pair of shoes. I wear these for normal street life. They are extremely comfortable. The rubber is perfectly sticky and works great for scrambling and class 3 hiking. I have yet to try them on any class 5 climbs but I feel comfortable enough in them to climb up to 5."
