    The REI Member Dividend

    The REI dividend is a unique benefit of membership in the REI co-op. It's comprised of your member refund—typically 10% back on eligible purchases—and/or your REI Visa® card rebates.

    Each March, active REI members and REI Visa cardholders who earned a rebate receive a refund in the form of an annual dividend notice.

    Only active members receive annual dividend notices. To maintain your active status as an REI member, you need to make net merchandise or shipping purchases of at least $10 per year, unless you joined that year. Member numbers are issued in one name and only that person receives the member refund. Your number can be used by others in your family, but it cannot be transferred to someone else.

      Comments about Scarpa Crux Approach Shoes - Women's:

      I've used these approach shoes as they are... approach shoes. They have great traction and are comfortable enough for a 'fun' approach.
      I tried the Women's La Sportiva Boulder X shoes and these were much more comfortable

      Biggest downside is the tongue slides to the side when I wear them, despite having the laces go through the tongue-holder-loop-thingy. But, worth the hassle for the traction.

        These shoes have been great for hiking. I was previously just wearing my Brooks Cascadias, but they weren't cutting it for the hiking descents. My big toes were in pain by the end of my hikes so I bought the Scarpa Crux and they have been great. Great traction, great fit and comfortable all around.

        Comments about Scarpa Crux Approach Shoes - Women's:

        They have a great look! They aren't bright orange, which is nice. You can wear them at the crag and after when you grab a bite. For the most part they are comfortable. I neglected to lace them down tight enough on a descent and my toes kept hitting the end, but that's my fault. They do run a little large. I normally wear a 39.5 and went down to a 39 and there is still about an inch before my toe hits the end. For me that's perfect, but they do run a bit big compared to other brands. They have done a great job on the few approaches I've been on since purchasing them. They stick to rock slabs and even do pretty good on loose dirt and rock. Not great, but what shoe does? My only complaint is the lack of cushion under the ball of the foot. I understand the reasoning behind it, but the balls of my feet didn't after a lengthy downhill set of rock "steps". Ow. If I could have landed on my heel, believe me I would have. So, I think with extra insoles these will be perfect for me.

        Spider-Man shoes!

        Comments about Scarpa Crux Approach Shoes - Women's:

        I call these my spidey shoes cause they stick to rock so fantastically well I feel like Spider-Man! They're fast and light. I added custom orthodics for more arch support. And unlike the other reviewers I haven't had trouble with the laces, though I do double knot them. Scrambling up a tough peak in Glacier National Park this weekend I was able to fly up steep gullies because the smooth front underside of the shoe makes the smallest of footholds managable, just like a rock climbing shoe. The only downside is that the lack of big lugs on the soles makes them more slippery on vegetation and other surfaces. For rock though, I can't imagine a better shoe.

        Comments about Scarpa Crux Approach Shoes - Women's:

        I wore these shoes brand new, straight out of the box, to climb Granite Peak (Montana's highest peak). I didn't get a single blister and they performed superbly on the long, boulder-hopping and scree approach, as well as on steeper terrain (class 4 climbing). They're also great for mountain biking because of the stiffer sole.

        Good comfortable approach shoes, not to mention, pretty dang stylish! I would go into REI and see these shoes and pass on purchasing them, and finally after about 4 or 5 visits, I finally got them and I am happy I did!
