Great Fit And Traction

Awesome fit, much more room at the toes than other approach shoes. The grip on all types of rock is fantastic. Looking forward to summer adventures with these! Go a 1/2 size down for a closer climb fit.

Scramble And Hike

I've used these on several days of cragging and a few scrambles in the flatirons and have been happy with the fit and performance on rock and on trail. I also wear them around town and to work. They're comfortable enough for all day wear, but also have the fit for performance to be able to scramble quite well. Overall happy with them and would buy them again!

Not Comfortable

Odd shape. Toe box not tall enough. Tongue too stiff. Weak heal foam. Big disappointment. Wore them two days. Don't like the return policy. Won't buy anymore NF gear. Gave me blister. Take them back please
