Durable and comfortable for a ten-mile approach, but precise enough to climb in technical and exposed terrain, the Technician Pro is the ultimate approach shoe built to take you from the car to the summit and back.
This means you can leave the car, send the approach, and keep scrambling technical terrain to the summit without ever changing shoes. Inspired by the comfortable and ergonomic design of running shoes when building the midfoot and heel of the Technician Pro, we combined this technology with a forefoot and toe box that’s ideal for technical climbing in the mountains. The Technician Pro’s Vibram Mega Grip rubber provides sticky traction on terrain that demands precise edging and smearing when the trail kicks up to near-vertical scrambles. A laminated mesh and microfiber suede tongue stays in place while a seamless suede, abrasion-resistant upper keeps dirt and moisture at bay.

"Great for my first approach shoe! Comfortable and easy to break in. The back rubs against my Achilles but I just cover the area with leukotape and it’s fine"
"I gave 4/5 stars only because it would have been nice to have thicker soles for shock absorption. I have no issues with using these for general climb approaches. I am planning to use these for a 100-mile backpacking trip in the Winds and fee like I need to add a more robust shoe sole for hiking that distance. These are a big improvement over my last pair of BD approach shoes (which I still loved and used for hiking/climbing in Europe)."
"This is my second approach shoe both have been well made! The tread and rubber really grab the terrain 100% recommend"
"Love this shoe. Comfortable to spend all day in, durable and technical enough to handle any approach. New go to shoe for a day in the mountains."
