Sizing Notes

For boots: Add one half size to your street shoe size. You should be able to slip one finger behind your heel when you are standing up with the boot unlaced and your toes touching the front. If the boot is too short, your toes will get smashed walking downhill. Too long and your heel will slide up and down and give you blisters.

Great grip, weak sole, run small.

3 years ago

Great grip on rock for scrambling but the sole started breaking down on the first use! These shoes were tight in the toe for me so if the sole were more durable I would have gone up a size from my normal size.

Fantastic combo of a shoe

5 years ago

These are great shoes to have in the arsenal. The toss between a trail runner and an approach shoe is the best combo because it adds the comfort and weight of a trail runner but stickiness of an approach shoe. I love to speed hike/trail run rocky terrain so these are a must have. Overall, I recommend these shoes to anyone looking for a stickier solution to trail runners or long distance comfort in an approach shoe. As for sizing, I did have to size up by .5 of my normal shoe size. That fit perfectly.

Laces don't hold up

3 years ago

Overall I like the shoes but unfortunately they don't hold up after 4 months of normal wear. The laces are too skinny and not durable enough. One is broken, the other is about to. A friend with the same shoes has the same problem, so I plan to return them.

Narrower toe box than the TX3

3 years ago

FYI: The toe box is much narrower than the TX3. I ordered these because I adore my TX3s and wanted to try this model. I'm returning them only for that reason, as I have a boxy fore-foot and a bone spur on one foot at the big toe joint that requires some extra room. Otherwise I'd keep them; they look like fabulous approach shoes.

Need bigger sizes

5 years ago

Really disappointed that the largest size available for this is a 42 (USA 10) - I would say it fits like a 10.5 but I would need an 11 (my usual size). The shoe seems really good quality and the width is good for my narrow feet. It seems that they don't make this shoe in anything bigger than a 10 - the hunt continues.

Previous reviews have mentioned that this shoe

Runs small & narrow. Otherwise seems like a nice shoe, but I don't think I could get a size that would work for my normal-sized feet, 7.5 and medium width.

Love the style

They seems made well, good colors. I was looking for biking, hiking, bouldering in same shoe. I might have found it! Breaking them in now. I will check back after having them a bit.
