Smedge the big edge

By JCrefeld Ranked #555 - Rock Climbing Shoes October 14, 2009

I've got a lot of use out these durable and comfortable approach shoes. They look smart and have good rubber, and they're definitely all day shoes. Now - I guess 'smedge' is a combination of smear and edge, and I would say they have no feel through the thick soles for smearing and with their fat rubber soles not at all incut under the base of your foot - they really edge poorly. I climb a lot at the Gunks and these will help you hit the 5.5s, but a tricky 5.7 might just hose you down! All in all though, they've definitely got their place and unlike my other approach shoes, they are built to last.
