Top notch approach shoe. Good mid-sole rigidity for climbing in aiders all day, edge and smear pretty good. The heal is nice for those long slogs down the trail after the climb. I wear a 42.5 climbing shoe for multi-pitch and 43.5 for trail shoes (both La Sportiva). I bought these in a 43 and they are perfect for aid climbing, but the 43.5 would be a better all-day walking shoe.
