Disappointing Shoe

By Ranked #8 - Rock Climbing Shoes February 11, 2008

I've been buying Patagonia gear since 1980 and I have a lot of it. Everything from early fleece and hardshells to their new wool base layers, all of it Fantastic gear. This is the first Patagonia product I've ever been disappointed in. I like the styling, the eco-friendly sole, the light weight and the fit. Unfortunately, the shoes lack support for trail use, so I use them for day-to-day casual wear. Even so, after 4 months the inside lining started to wear through to the foam at the heel and is continuing to get worse. I've had the shoes for 10 months now - the outside still looks new, the sole hardly shows any wear at all, but the inside is going fast. If you're looking for a serious hiking or approach shoe - I'd consider something else.
