I got these shoes for a rock climbing trip Grand Teton...was not 100% happy with the stickiness of the rubber, ended up using some 510 shoes from the guiding company that were much better, the Zens are cool looking and comfortable shoes but not so great on the rock.

These shoes are the best. First, they have typical Scarpa awesome construction. Second, they can be worn for many things: hiking, climbing, biking, and just wearing around town. These are my go-to shoes now.

Shoes are bomb, very tough and comfortable. I use them as knock-arounds, casual to work, whatever.

However, the sizing is a definite issue. Be aware that what Scarpa calls a US-11 is more like a US 10.
I normally wear a 10.5-11, depending on the manufacturer. I purchased the EU 44.5, which Scarpa says on the label is equivalent to a US 11. This shoe is barely wearable for me. My toes touch the front of the shoe and I could not use them on a long hike in the woods for fear of blisters or toenail damage.

Perhaps, because they are scrambling shoes meant for light climbing, that they are cut a little tighter which might make them more useful on the rocks. But for casual wear and walking, they are too tight. Go up a half size for sure.

Best shoe in this category I've ever worn. Now ordering my second pair.

These shoes are awesome. They are super comfy when you are hiking in and perform well enough for most climbing.

Second pair for a reason. One shoe that can do it all. Make sure to round up when sizing... Euros must have small feet.

I've never been stoked on a pair of shoes before. But these are incredible! Zero, I mean ZERO, break-in time needed. They are comfy right out of the box. The soles are super sticky and will scramble up and down sketchy scree and boulder fields with ease. Pretty good against 'soakers' when you punch through ice into the gooey mud and water below. I think I'll reinforce them with some Nikwax just so they'll be bomb proof. I wear an 8 shoe and picked up the 41. No complaints. The toe box is just barely roomy so my toes aren't getting stuffed when coming down off peaks while my ankle is locked in. The only fit issue is a really minor one; they are a little too roomy above the base of my toes, under the 2nd and 3rd X on your laces. Same fit applies to my Scarpa Technos. While I'd rather have a more precise fit, it's hardly a worry. As for the stink factor, I've put nearly 100 miles and 3 summits under these shoes in about 10 days and they are still allowed in my bedroom. Great stuff!

This Scarpa footwear isn't named an "Approach Shoe" for nothing. Now that they have been used a bit, and broken in, they are really amazing. I wear them to gym just to work out, and unfortunately-- everyone in the locker room wants to know what they are, where I got them ... but hey, what's wrong with that?

I really like this scarpa shoes. They are very confortable and supportive. I also got the Boreal Flyers because I was undecided and I ended up keeping both. They are both great eventhough the scarpas are a little bit more confortable. They are not made in Italy but in Romania but quality is very high. Give them a try if looking for a very good and confortable pair of approach shoes.
