I got these as an all around shoe and have fallen in love! They're the perfect shoe to wear to the climbing gym - the collapsible heel makes ti easy to slide them on and off between routes. They are definitely not designed for people with wide feet, but my narrow feet fit perfectly.
I bought these shoes because I wanted the lightest approach shoes possible to climb with. However, the sides are all mesh, and so they are not supportive enough to feel safe boulder hopping in (worried about twisting an ankle). I do like how you can step on the backs without breaking them, and the style is nice. Run a little small.
I bought these (size 10) online after trying on a 9.5 in person and it being too small. I’ve never been more than a 10 in women’s shoes, and lo and behold these are STILL way too small! Not sure what the sizing is about, but if you get these shoes I’d recommend sizing up a couple times.
These are so comfortable, but the sole started peeling away from the shoe after about 5 wears. I'm hoping its just a defect, so I ordered another pair. Hope it doesn't happen again.
These are great shoes for around town. I would not ever use them for approach as I can feel the rocks in the gravel road by my house when I walk to the mailbox. They're lightweight but like others mentioned a very small toe box. If I were using these as approach shoes I'd have sized up a half size probably. The soles are nice and grippy but not super thick. They say they aren't waterproof but I walked through through the rain and puddles without trying to avoid the water and they were still dry inside even though the outside was quite wet.
They do run a have size small for me, but otherwise a great lightweight all around shoe
