Description
2nd pair after 1st pair was worn out, so far so good.
Used these to climb (not hike) Tower Ridge, Ben Nevis. Never done any climbing before and if not for the quality of the grip on the outsole of these shoes I don't think I would have managed it.
Great experience, fast efficient service, had another pair and wanted other colours and found these in my size had to order straightaway
