    Expert Review

    This is an excellent, all-day shoe that has an extremely stiff sole. You can fine tune the fit with the laces (great for staying comfortable throughout the day) and edge all day without your arches getting tired! It also does well in mid to wide cracks!

    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.

You can fine tune the fit with the laces (great for staying comfortable throughout the day) and edge all day without your arches getting tired! It also does well in mid to wide cracks!
