For the price, this is a really good approach shoe. It is rugged, durable, and has good edging and friction properties. The break in period was longer than usual, but I attribute that to the beefy construction. For me, not so much a trail walking shoe as a peak bagging / approach shoe. Excels at edging and crack climbing, but a little too burly for technical smearing.
