I was thinking of buying these for awhile but prefer to try shoes on in a store first. The reviews helped and I ordered a half size bigger than my usual outdoor shoe size. . . it was a good call. The shoe materials are very soft and comfortable out of the box. I have wide feet and they fit well. Love the color, gives a little pop to my usual black and gray outdoor sport clothes. I'm wearing these for everyday at the moment.
First off, these shoes are awesome. They have great grip and are pretty thick, so they can keep your feet warm in colder months. Plus, they look great walking around town or hanging out in the gym. Only reason to give 4 out of 5 stars is because the white suede stains easily — the color is a weird choice for an approach shoe that will definitely go through mud at some point.
Super uncomfortable, there is no room for the pinky and the foot overflows the shoe over the arc side. And, no... I am not a big heavy person, just boring average 59kg wearing a size 39Eu. The last thing I want when I am wearing regular shoe is to feel like I never removed the climbing shoe. The prime fails on that.
I work as a canyoneering guide and was hoping for a comfy and reliable pair of shoes to wear on the trail every day. These shoes work perfectly! They felt a little tight at first, but after a day of wear, I'm stoked with the size I got. The lining of the shoe is really soft and comfortable as well. Love them!
This is my third pair. They are comfortable and not as high volume as other approach shoes I have used in the past. I like the rubber around the toe, which helped when I brought two left climbing shoes and had to use my approach sneaker on the right foot
Good comfortable fit. I was a bit nervous to buy shoes without trying them on, but these are a good fit. I can't wait to put them to the real test this summer!
These shoes are stylish, comfortable, and perform incredibly well! I love the color and they grip on the trail surface (even mud!). Thank you Black Diamond!
Took these out immediately in Little Cottonwood Canyon on some slabby approaches and had no issues. Also love the rad colors!
Like the fit a lot - very comfortable and feels true to size. Haven’t had a chance to test them outside yet but high hopes!
Confortable, keeps your feet hot in cold times like november and has a good grip on rocks!
