Not a performance shoe
"I have used this boot for two years now. This boot doesn’t handle difficult terrain well and performs just moderately well in boulders. The traction is good…the rubber is soft and it dose kinda break down over time but it is grippy and the damage doesn’t seem to hurt performance…. studs fall out over time…. but I auquaseal them back. Some people bash the rubber but the soft nature allows it to form to the rock texture increases surface area contact. I like the rubber. The quick lace is terrible…. I changed out the laces which was very difficult. They perform better with real laces but they still lack that “athletic” fit. I feel like they could use a couple more lace loops. That being said they are a ok boot for more casual days. They have there place in my rack…I own many sims boots. I most often I use my regular Access which I am super happy with. I wish they would just make a low top version of the access…. . kinda like the old flyweight!"
