Anyone know where to get a pair or have them? Approach shoe with a rear bail edge, right on!

I think Feathered Friends in Seattle has 'em.

Martin 's shop in North Bend's got them, or the Scarpa version, for 40% off right now.

I bought a pair for wall climbing and Cascades alpine stuff. I am very happy with them for both. I fit them small for free climbing, so they are a bit tight for long approaches. The stiffness is nice in aiders, good for climbing, but they feel like boots on the trail, only way lighter. They arn't waterproof. I blew a hole in the toe rand aiding in them, but Ramuta said he could fix it.

 

I don't own newmatics, but they work fine with my strap-ons. I'd say get 'em, good stiff shoe. But if you want a waterproof boot go with the La Sportiva S's.
