Minimalist approach kicks might be just fine for a quick out-'n-back jaunt to a nearby slab.

I got a pair of these over the winter and have since worn them for everything from hanging around, climbing El Cap or scrambling in the Sierra.

These are a great approach shoe or hiker for more substantial missions than a quick jaunt to the crag. You can put the miles down in these things, and climb in them too. I have worn them for soloing lots of easier climbs like Cathedral Peak in Tuolumne and love them for that. I would say they excel as a hiking/approach shoe (which is what they were made to be, no doubt, not a true approach and climb shoe, check out the Bolt for that).

Overall, the design is really nice, I do wish that the toe rand extended about 3 or 4 inches farther back on the outside edges, this is always a problem on shoes for me. I do so much climbing in my approach shoes that this is always a weak spot.Despite that, I definitely recommend them.

I have had this shoe for about a month now and have used it multiple times climbing in Joshua Tree. It works perfectly as an approach shoe over some pretty scketchy approaches. The shoe fits true to size, is very comfortable and grabs the grainy rock in Joshua Tree like glue. I would recommend this shoe to anyone looking for a good approach shoe at a resonable price. Backcountry had it on sale and they were great on the shipping. I had it in just a few days.

I got this shoe for the long approaches to my favorite climbing crags and I haven't been disapointed. From jumping through talus fields to mud and snow these haven't let me down. Great grip and good anchle protection I love these shoe for any kind of terrain.

Excellent traction on rock, snow, or wading through rivers. Breathable yet rugged construction, fits well in aiders, and stands up to heavy blows removing loose choss. Even stood up to bits of slag from welding in the shop. Excellent shoe, good for expeditions!
