Approach shoes/cruisers

[skyclimb]

I am looking for an approach shoe that can be used for everyday use(in the city). I like to hike, climb, mtb, and scramble.

What do you recommend that is long lasting and comfortable when not scrambling?

Thanks in advance

i use my new balance running shoes for everything...they suck for slab climbing, but are good for everything else (including strapping crampons for easy glacier shite)

I just bought a pair of Merrill Gore-tex trail runners that are pretty cool. The waterproof design has already saved my ass a couple of times when friends feet have gotten soaked. And the simple blue design is pretty decent looking. I personally hate that all the freaking logos on the damn thing, but what running shoe is not ugly?

 

I think it's $90 at REI and i used my dividend and 20% discount to get it for like $20

I've been through three pairs of brooks trail shoes and love them so much I will do whatever is necessary to make them last. They are hard to find but are great all around and relatively cheep.
