I'd marry these approach shoes.... - Evolv Cruzer Approach Shoe - Mens

....if I could. I've owned 5-10s, Scarpas and these are, hands down, my favorite approach shoes for serious scrambling. They're sticky and very minimalistic, which is great for squeezing feet into tight spaces. My ankles have a tendency to roll quite easily and that doesn't happen in these shoes. I was nervous about feeling sharp rocks through the shoes and that has never been the case. The only thing these aren't good for are long/all-day hikes with a heavy pack - and the canvas tends to not hold up so well after about 8+ hikes of high class scrambling....but that's a small price to pay for the greatest approach shoe on earth.
