From Moosejaw:
"On Sale. Free Shipping. Montrail Women's D7 Shoe (Spring 2008) The D7 by Montrail is for alpine spires, talus scrambling, and moderate climbing. The low-profile toe shape jams well enough for crack climbing and the Vibram outsole smears like a rock shoe. The midsole consists of dual-density EVA aligned directly under the edge. Weight: 13 oz./0.35 kg Grip Vibram TC4 and Super Trek outsole Uphill pattern on forefoot Downhill pattern on heel Sticky rock shoe rand Fit Pointed, but comfortable toe box for precise control Extra-cushioned cuff and tongue Holds foot in place for tricky footwork Design Burly, protective synthetic leather upper Bomber heel cup Semi-rigid lasting board Dual-density ultralight midsole Animal Alpine spires Scrambling Fast and light Big wall Third class Skipping class Jammin'"

From Sierra Trading Post:
"CLOSEOUTS. Made for scrambling and moderate climbing, Montrail D7 approach shoes feature a low-profile, a tough, abrasion-resistant toe for jamming, unusually light weight and all-day comfort. Moderately stiff Vibram(R) outsole smears like a rock shoe Uphill forefoot design Downhill heel design Removable, contoured, well cushioned insole 3 ” height 1 lb. 11 oz. pr. Synthetic leather upper Medium width CLOSEOUTS. China"

From Altrec Outdoors:
"Peruse any good gear reviews lately If it was a hiking or climbing magazine, you might see a good word or two about the Montrail D7. It features an innovative dual-compound Vibram rubber approach sole that gives you sticky rubber grip in the toe and enhanced durability in the heel. The multipurpose design works exceptionally well with folks who like to decide what they want to do a couple of miles down the trail. The lightweight synthetic suede upper is perforated with dozens of venting holes for enhanced breathability. Up top the folded-gusset tongue creates a low-volume comfort zone around the toe for enhanced control when you need it. Whether you're going to day hike, boulder or approach, the D7 fits your purpose with style."

From RockCreek:
"Montrail's very own D7 approach shoe is built with a lightweight, synthetic suede upper to provide breathable water-resistance with a comfortable, conforming fit. The D7's low volume toe box and thin-gauge rubber toe cap maximize grip and stand strong against rocks, sharp sticks, and snags. The D7 makes the most of off trail technology (like sticky rubber, rubber rands, stability and edging control), while retaining all the benefits and performance features of a multiuse shoe. Winner of Climbing magazine's 2003 Editor's Choice Award for the best approach shoe."

"Great shoe, get them while you can. Never fails that companies always stop making products that sell and work... I own several pair of Montrails. I can only hope they don't stop making the Vitesse."

"Where's the sticky? These are some of the slickest shoes I have ever owned. Vibram is not all that much, as is Mad Rubber #5. Not recommended by the big Teton guide outfits, vetoed them and they were right - no staying power where it counts; I slipped right off the rock. These are OK for hiking, ascent and descent, but that's about it."

"Great shoe for approaches and scrambling. I wish the tread (rubber toe material) would wrap all the way around the toe down to the tread, that would increase the shoe's technical climbing ability.

I have had the shoes for seven months and I wear them three to four times a week for approaching climbs and the sole has worn through to the cushining at the toe and heel."

"Simply awesome shoes! Wore them up Longs Peak in class 5 conditions to the summit. Stuck like Spider Man on the homestretch, and practically ran down Green Mountain Trail at the Flatirons over boulder. They watch your back, and make you look like you know what you're doing ~- can you ask more from gear?"

"Sickest shoe I have owned! I had four pairs of 5.10 Mt. Masters but they can't touch the D7! I've done day hikes, rock scrambles, backpacking trips, mt. biked and some trail running. Even did some bouldering. Gotta get em!!"
