Trendy looking shoe. I like the grippy Stealth rubber outsole. Wish there was more of it on the heel. The gauzy elastic strip which is meant to hold the tongue in place is laughable if you were expecting, say, a gusseted tongue. I expect it to shred in maybe a month. If you expect to be able to tie down the laces securely expect discomfort, though maybe thick socks will help to alleviate the pain. With the nylon mesh upper you might think that the shoe would breathe well. Wrong. For some reason the moisture doesn't move out of the shoe.
Comfortable enough for a trip to the grocery store, but I don't expect much out of these as approach shoes.

This style of belay devices is named after this product. It's the Q-tip of climbing. I think my ATC came with a big belay locking carabiner back when I bought it. Read More »
