Technical, Dude!

I, too, was torn between these and the Makalus. I actually got both, but have worn these on 6 fourteeners so far. They did chew the tops of my outer toes a bit, but I taped them and so no problem. On a 3rd class ridge, they were superb. Edging is phenomenal and they aided my accent in a huge way. They're also waterproof, and don't rub my feet in any meaningful way. They tend to wear quickly, but they perform so well I won't have a problem buying another pair. And now I have the Makalus: these Trangos are so much lighter! For scrambling/mountaineering, get these.
Cheers.
