how do the "smearacle" sticky rubber soles hold up over time when used mainly for scrambling over say 3rd/4th class terrain? my TNF hedgehog trail runners i used for scrambling didn't hold up at all...soles delaminated after only 6 mos. of use. also, does the injection molded TPU shank protect over scree/boulder hopping? any help or info. much appreciated...thank you.

The smedge rubber is quite durable and designed quite well for the hardcore scramble factor and I really like the mix of stiffness so you don't beat your feet on the taluse mixed with enough sensitivity to smear when your life depends on it....good stuff!!!
