Approach Shoes

Approach Shoes

Modern approach shoes combine the features of both hiking boots and rock climbing shoes, providing a snug, supportive fit while excelling in grip for maximum traction on a variety of surfaces along a mountain approach.

Designed for summer approaches, approach shoes typically feature specialised sticky rubber soles for better grip on steeper grades of rock and like a good pair of hiking boots, approach shoes will be comfortable, supportive and often moisture wicking as well as breathable, windproof and waterproof.
