The ideal approach shoe should be tough, well protected & provide enough support for easy climbing but comfy enough for the approach walk. The Men's Crux takes technologies that have been developed in Scarpa's trekking & climbing range & combines them together to give a hybrid that has all of the characteristics required to be a top approach shoe. Toughness is provided by using the best quality suede in the upper, a rubber toe & heal rand gives protection whilst the Vibram Vertical sole with sticky rubber, tough EVA midsole & forefoot cradle system ensures support & confidence. They're made using 50% recycled polyester in the lining & mesh.
