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.
