Town and Talus shoe!

By Ranked #285 - Rock Climbing Shoes December 9, 2008

When I buy shoes, I like to think multipurpose. I got these for kicking around town as well as rock-hopping over the chossy talus up here in AK. Really an excellent all-around shoe. Supportive with good underfoot protection for hiking and approaches, but flexible enough to walk around in all day. I don't like a big restricting hiking boot or shoe, so this suits me really well. Pretty glad it has no water-proofing too, I never understood the point of a low top gore-tex shoe. The sticky rubber soles are sweet on the rocks, but will mark any hard surface with black streaks. I guess they weren't designed for traipsing around campus...
