the La Sportiva Exum river is a much better canyoneering shoe... its has far more support, comfort and more importantly gription on slippery surfaces

The North Face Dafda Boa Multisport Shoe - Men's

The North Face Dafda Boa Multisport Shoe - Men's

Rating for this product: 2 June 23, 2009

when i bought these shoes i was looking for a type of water/hiking shoe that i could use in the narrows and the subway in Zion national park in Utah. these shoes are extremely light and fit very nicely even with neoprene socks. the Boa lacing system is absolutely amazing... until you get into some sand... sand made the knob very difficult to twist and tighten, and it didn't make the clicking noise it once made... but none the less they stayed tight. when it comes to walking through rivers, or on a flat sandy stone, you might as well be on ice because there is 0 traction. also for hardcore canyoneering like the subway or the narrows these shoes are not recommend. there is no support whatsoever. your foot molds to ever single rock you step on and it can get quite painful. this a good shoe for kayaking or crossing rivers or streams on a trail, but not for long or strenuous hikes. if your looking for the best canyoneering shoes there are basicaly only 2. the 5.10 canyoneers and the exum rivers. i did the narrows with 2 guys who each had on either the 5.10's or the exum rivers, and they had no traction or suport problems... i struggled and was in quite a bit of pain. the next 2 days i could hardly cram my feet into my normal hiking shoes because of my feet being so swollen.
