"My husband has a wide toe box and we were unsure how it will fit initially but they’ve quickly become one of his most comfortable pairs of shoes. The suede upper is soft but durable, and the style works well for both everyday wear and outdoor use. He’s been able to wear them for long periods without discomfort. He went up 1/2 size"
"Super comfortable and supportive I’ve worn them scrambling and just working at the ski shop"
"BD really does the light approach shoe right. For me, it's the one you were to the crag or the gym, without the 5 mile approach, then I'm climbing 5. 8 foot jams. Maybe, I clip them to the harness with the amazing collapsing heel, maybe I'm clambering around to hang a TR, and then I don't have to take them off on the drive because they kill my feet. Bravo!"
"Comfortable enough to enjoy around town and leisure hikes to the crag. Nice color."
"I got these for my partner who loves outdoor climbing and he really enjoys the slipable heal for easy in and out when switching from climbing to belaying. Wish there were more color options like a solid black or even a white, but over all love the shoe."
"Love slip on feature. Comfortable walking shoe."
"I couldn't be happier with my new shoes. Perfect fit and it is so comfortable, besides that is a great looking shoe. I totally recommend 100%"
"the comfy all day shoe"
"These shoes are awesome. I really liked the whole Session approach shoe line and wish they would come back."
"the grip of the sole is better than i expected. the description of the shoe describes that these are meant to be slipped on and off and that stands true!!"
