Patagonia Footwear Karakoram Approach Shoe - Men's

Karakoram Approach

By Ranked #928 - Rock Climbing Shoes October 20, 2009

I love these shoes for hiking, but i would not say they're a true approach shoe. the karakoram is a bit to rigid and stiff for me to be climbing in. also if you're hiking through any sticker bushes, you will have pokey stickers catching the shoe's liner (and stabbing your ankle). they are a very comfortable, durable hiking shoe. the rigidity of the shoe puts a little spring in your step. you can't help but love to see other people look at them either.
