"I was thinking of buying these for awhile but prefer to try shoes on in a store first. The reviews helped and I ordered a half size bigger than my usual outdoor shoe size. . . it was a good call. The shoe materials are very soft and comfortable out of the box. I have wide feet and they fit well. Love the color, gives a little pop to my usual black and gray outdoor sport clothes. I'm wearing these for everyday at the moment."
"This is my third pair. They are comfortable and not as high volume as other approach shoes I have used in the past. I like the rubber around the toe, which helped when I brought two left climbing shoes and had to use my approach sneaker on the right foot"
"Great fit, super comfy and grippy."
"Took these out immediately in Little Cottonwood Canyon on some slabby approaches and had no issues. Also love the rad colors!"
"It is comfortable hiking in this shoes."
"Comfortable and stylish"
"Versatile shoe. Perfect for a little bit of everything. fits true to size"
"Super uncomfortable, there is no room for the pinky and the foot overflows the shoe over the arc side. And, no. . . I am not a big heavy person, just boring average 59kg wearing a size 39Eu. The last thing I want when I am wearing regular shoe is to feel like I never removed the climbing shoe. The prime fails on that."
"First off, these shoes are awesome. They have great grip and are pretty thick, so they can keep your feet warm in colder months. Plus, they look great walking around town or hanging out in the gym. Only reason to give 4 out of 5 stars is because the white suede stains easily — the color is a weird choice for an approach shoe that will definitely go through mud at some point."
"Like the fit a lot - very comfortable and feels true to size. Haven’t had a chance to test them outside yet but high hopes!"
