Men's Marathon
Reviewed by bruecooke, Nov 02, 2007

"These shoes are comfy with a cushioned tongue and are stiff and are great for edging. The stitching is solid and the shoes are holding up well. I mostly gym climb but have used them on sandstone and they did great on both."

Men's Marathon
Reviewed by Mitch, Nov 29, 2004

"These shoes are perfect if you are looking for a versatile shoe. I have climbed sandstone cracks in Indian Creek and sporty granite faces in Rocky Mountain and they performed very well.

I mainly bought these to have a comfy pair of shoes to trad climb in."
