John Willard, Founder & Lead Guide @ Willard Mountain Guides
A must have for rock approaches and long hikes to the start of the climb. These things also climb like a dream in the alpine. A MUST HAVE!

The approach shoes fit a little tight/narrow, but climb almost as well as a rock shoe. I love wearing these on long mellow climbs, or more technical approaches where secure footing matters.

The old TX4 leather was my go-to approach shoe. It was durable, and climbed well enough for my taste. I've now switched to the TX Guide Leather. It climbs SO well, and it's comfy enough. I do wish it had a wider toe box, but comfort is sacrificed for performance.
