Black Diamond Mission XP Leather Approach Shoe - Women's

Why We Like The Black Diamond Mission XP Leather Approach Shoe

When the trail in is just as challenging as the walls we plan to climb, we lace up the Black Diamond Mission XP Leather Approach shoe and set off toward the crag with our packs loaded with gear. The durable suede uppers are protected by TPU overlays that shield our feet from rough rock and low brambles so we can follow hidden side trails to the best rock on the rock face, and the moisture-wicking lining keeps us cool on sweltering afternoon hikes back to the car. The plush dual-density EVA midsole is supported by a forefoot shank that increases forefoot protection and offers precise edging while climbing through boulder fields, and the BlackLabel-Mountain soles are exceptionally sticky, so we can move confidently over technical terrain.

My new adventure shoe!

Familiarity:: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Size Bought:: 9.5

I was planning a trip to Joshua tree and a friend suggested getting these. I intended to do mostly hiking and some scrambling (no rope climbing) and planned to just wear hiking shoes. I decided to order and give these a try and WOW these are the shoes I didn't know I needed! They are sturdy and perform similar to your typical climbing shoe but are comfortable to walk in all day. These made me feel very confident while scrambling. Definitely a smaller fit and I would recommend sizing up a full size. I'm usually an 8.5/9 and ordered the 9.5, glad I did. They are snug but comfortable. My new go-to shoe for adventuring - would HIGHLY recommend if you are looking for something that performs better than hiking shoes.
