I like the build of the shoes and stickiness of the rubber, and they seem to be a good deal. They're comfortable for their performance. My gripe: I still question the idea of approach shoes in the Cascades. So often the approaches and descents are over loose sand and crud, and you need a more aggressive sole than the little sticky tabs of approach shoes.
They would probably be great if I were spending a week in Tuolumne. Hey there's an idea!
