    Expert Review

    If you climb on granite, this is your shoe. If you climb, period, this is your shoe. A rite of passage. I climb on a few pairs of the older generation but have tried the new edition, and can say they are still excellent shoes.

    This product is for…

    Trad climbers, crack climbers, and multipitch/big wall climbers who prioritize all-day comfort and foot protection over gym or steep sport performance. Multiple hosts flag it as unsuitable for gym or very steep routes.

    Worth noting…

    Nearly every host recommends sizing up 0.5 sizes or to street size for all-day wear and cold-weather sock use; the shoe stretches slightly over time. Multiple hosts resole repeatedly, pointing to strong long-term durability value.
