Montrail D7

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. So overall I have had a lot of fun with these shoes but I wished I could have got a little more life out of them.

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.

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?

We've used and wore out our Sportivas in one season, but our D7 are still looking brand new, great shoe. I'm also one my second pair of Vitessas also a great shoe. I hope Montrail keeps making them...

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.

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!!

These shoes are Natural Born Illers!! I love 'em like fat kids love cake.
- Chamone!
