From EMS:
"Like any good technical approach shoe, the Trango Guide offers good edging, laces down to the toes, and a low-profile midsole that gives you better purchase on the rock. What makes this difference is the mid-top ankle design that gives you more support when hauling heavy loads en route to the crag. 1.6mm nubuck leather upper. Full-coverage sticky rubber rands with a beefy (double thickness) toe cap for big wall jugging abuse. Dual-density Micropore midsole is cut narrow to bring the forefoot edging platform of the outsole directly underneath the edge of your foot. The 2 to 5mm tapered lasting board gives support for long approaches and is thickest under the arch for extra support when standing in an aid sling. Vibram Spider (sticky TC4+ rubber) outsole for excellent traction and rock-climbing performance. Mesh lining in heel; Cambrelle lining in forefoot for comfort and absorbency. Narrow instep offers greater climbing performance."

"These are pretty good shoes - enough support to carry a heavy load, but sensitive enough to scramble pretty well.

The fit is narrow and especially so on the toes. I have a wide toebox, and the Guide tends to squash my little toe inward.

They don't have any waterproof liner, and after a few miles in a sort-of-unexpected snowstorm, my feet were soaked."
