Best approach and trail shoe i've owned! - Vasque Juxt Hiking Shoes - Men's

Love these shoes, best hands down. Seems like complaints have been around availaiblity and shipping. Mine find true to size and needed no break-in. I use them for light hiking - dirt, gravel, grass wet and dry and pavement. I come from a rock and mountaineering background and have had various approach shoes from 5.10 and others over the years. I hate wearing boots unless it's really required. These shoes are as sticky on rock as climbing rubber. The bottom contour is awesome, with a hard edge that feels more like a mountain biking tire and doesn't roll on inclines. They grip even on wet and muddy grass slopes but don't get bogged with mud between treds. These shoes form a great stable platform yet seem to roll effortlessly on hard surfaces. They are also very quiet and comfortable walking on hard surfaces. None of the blocky/clunky feel of some "trail" shoes.

Finally, a very reasonable price. Others have commented on durability; I've only had mine for about 2 months. Nonetheless, I highly recommend these.
