Scramblers
Yes , I recommend this product
I demoed a pair on a 5k feet, 10 miles technical route involving a steep scramble and a rooty, rocky descent. The following comparisons are relative to Speedgoat, not the same category - granted, but popular. Grip is excellent, and the narrower and stiffer base make it more precise for scrambling. It felt softer though than the atrocious S/Lab from a few years ago. Running the descent was very safe, no predisposition to rolling ankle. The one negative is they’re slower to dry, water was still sloshing an hour later. Recommended.
