Bottom Line: Get to the goods in the Garmont Sticky Cat Approach Shoes.
I've had mine for going on 2 years, and I am only just now thinking about replacing them. I've used them for everyday wear as well as for approaches, scrambles, mod climbing and day hikes. Super comfy and bomber.
I bought these shoes for the first time roughly 4 years ago, since then I have yet to purchase a different all-around shoe. I can't say enough about them, great for long approaches, awesome for baggin peaks in the summer. Messing around on boulders, short trail runs, whatever you throw at it, they come out shinning. Buy two so you have a spare after you've spent so many epics days with them laced to your feet, that you sadly have to toss them......
