This is a good all-rounder approach shoe.  It has enough room in the toe so that hiking is comfortable.  They can edge and smear fairly well, they grip well on steep and wet rocks.  The canvas is thicker and more durable than some of the other approach shoes I've seen, but they still pack down fairly small.  They are a comfortable shoe to wear around town, and they also make a good mountain biking shoe.

I have several variations of these shoes available in both Men's and Women's.  Colors include two styles of grey, two styles of red, and black.  Please see my other listings.

The listings include shipping discounts if you buy more than one pair.  Just add them to all to your cart prior to checking out.  You'll only pay for the actual shipping charges with no markup.

These are new shoes that have never been worn.  The photos with a white background are stock photos.  The other photos are of a representative pair that is for sale.  I have not taken pictures of every pair.

Sizing - order these to your normal street shoe size.
