From Oregon Mountain Community:
"The Scarpa Zen approach shoe could lead you to nirvana. Just like its name implies, it strikes the perfect balance between trail hiking and light bouldering. From the boulder-strewn trails of Baxter State Park to the beautiful cliff-hugging routes along Cape Lookout State Park, discover your balance with the Scarpa Zen. Features Upper: All leather Lining: Vellutina Midsole: Injected dual density EVA Sole: VibramĀ® Spyder Last: BH Weight: 900g (42) Color: Smoke OMC Shoe Buyer says: The Zen was a surprise hit two years ago. We like to think we planned it all along. But the truth is the Zen is just a great shoe for light duty hiking. The medium/wide toe box narrows into a snug heel that won't slip, and the down-to-the-toe lacing even accommodates my big foot. The toe box is a bit wide for an approach shoe, but for those of you who want to do more hiking than low grade climbing and scrambling, this is the shoe for you."

From CampSaver.com:
"The Scarpa Zen approach shoe combines maximum all-day comfort and technical performance when you need it.One of the best approach shoes on the market and you wont find a better value anywhere."

From REI:
"Offering comfort from the driveway to the trailhead and on up through the approach, Scarpa Zen shoes blend climbing shoe functionality with the all-day comfort of an everyday shoe. Suede leather uppers are crisscrossed with reinforcing stitching to give reliable support and dependable performance on the approach and higher. Burly rubber rands protect feet and uppers from bumps and abrasion and make for more nimble scrambling. Lacing extends all the way down to the toes to give a more precise fit; heel loops aid entry. Nylon linings wick moisture away from your feet and dry quickly. Compression-molded, dual-density EVA midsoles deliver cushioning and comfort. Molded VibramĀ® Spyder rubber outsoles provide the sticky traction and excellent durability needed for approach versatility."

"I just purchased my third pair of these shoes. They are great. I used them to summit various peaks in the Tetons without any problems.

These shoes fit me like a glove, are stiff enough for technical scrambles, but comfortable enough for walking around town."

"For an all rounder this shoe is perfect. Although I guess that depends on your perception of 'all rounder'. I took these shoes to the Himalayas with me, and put them through their paces around Annapurna. They were a welcome relief in the evenings (when the boots came off to dry out)."
