    Expert Review

    I've been wearing these shoes for over a decade and they are my go-to multi-pitch and crack climbing shoes for a reason. The flat sole allows for all-day comfort on long routes and the ankle protection is key for foot jamming on crack climbs.

    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.
