Patagonia Footwear Karakoram Approach Shoe - Men's

Item #PTF0086 | 4 in Stock

I haven't seen many reviews for Patagonia's approach...

By Ranked #245 - Rock Climbing Shoes May 15, 2009

I haven't seen many reviews for Patagonia's approach shoes that comment on their quality as an approach shoe. I've seen a couple but, for the most part, the comments are about their comfort as a hiking shoe.

Does anyone have any experience using the Finn's, Huckleberry's, or Karakoram's on class 4/low-grade 5 approaches? I'm trying to get a sense for how sticky the rubber is and how good the toe design is for edging.

Hello, This is Owen from Patagonia Footwear. We just started shipping the new Karakoram on May so it is pretty new out there, but already you can see reviews in both the Climbing Gear guide and the Backpacker Gear guide, as well as Urban Climber. This shoe features a really durable PU coated leather and a very sticky Idogrip Outsole from Vibram.
