What is the point of approach shoes?
A pair of approach shoes allow you to get to the base of the climb, especially across long approaches that may have you scrambling across rocks that are frequently found at the bottom of climbing areas. Like climbing shoes, they feature a flat climbing zone, a sticky rubber sole, and good grippy lugs that allow for tremendous traction on steeper-grade rock surfaces.
Can you rock climb in approach shoes?
It is important to note that approach shoes should not be worn as a replacement for climbing shoes unless it’s for very easy non-technical climbs as you’re scrambling to get to the foot of the climb. They do not perform in the same manner you would expect from a traditional climbing shoe, so you shouldn’t try to tackle gnarly crags or technical climbs in them. Rather, they should be worn on hikes to and from the climb or campsite.
Are approach shoes comfortable?
Yes, approach shoes are comfortable, especially when compared to the notoriously uncomfortable climbing shoes that would be horrible to try and to an approach in. Approach shoes are also good for hikers that plan on Backpacking along an especially long approach.
What is the difference between approach shoes and hiking shoes?
If you come across a section that requires scrambling, you'll be glad you have approach shoes on due to their climbing zone and sticky rubber sole.
