What do you want them for? Approaching crags? Or wandering round font? Or for easy bouldering/ soloing?
Hit me up with some beta on approach shoes. As always, beta on bargain bin replacements would be appreciated!
Walshes, designed to stop you sliding around wet grassy slopes. I did the Cuillin ridge in a pair and they climb up to VS/HVS just fine.
I've got some of the stealth adidas. Worse on wet grass than normal outdoorsy trainers, but a thousand times better than Daescents on wet grass, which were frankly a liability. Very stiff, should be great for mountain scrambling. Not really tried soloing in them or owt, I think the stiffness would take getting used to on grit. I know James Turnbull did Sardine in a pair. More than adequate for walking into Kilnsey and Longridge.

Given Nat bought here Sportivas the same week and essentially we do pretty much the same thing it's amazing the difference in wear between them.Sizing; is it another entry to the FiveTen style lottery?

Fiveten seem to have ruined the Guide Tennie which leaves me struggling for approach shoes.
You mean the Insights? I quite like them?
