What shoes/boots do you wear for a day on the rocks??

Looking at buying a pair of under armour trail shoes for wearing when on the rocks and also for just personal use, tried these on at the local outdoor store and they were like standing on a memory foam pillow:shock: I think i'm going to buy a pair

Usually something that looks pretty similar to that...

i wear some SFC (shoes for crews) chuck taylor lookalikes. black is too damned hot in the direct sunlight, but they are light, cheap, feel comfy as hell even after a whole day on the rocks. and.... the tread rivals your favorite pin tires on your crawler. "thumbsup"

On the rocks, I just wear tennis shoes. If Im out in the woods somewhere scaling where there's water, I wear Rubbers.

I have been rocking a pair of newbalance which are fine on rock but no good in loose dirt/gravel so my next pair will be a set of hiking boot/shoe

I recently bought these AHNU hikers and I really like them.

Awesome traction on muddy slope! Gore-Tex too.


And, I always have my old Bate's combat boots in the trunk if the muck get's deep "thumbsup"

Vans. They stick to the rocks.

 

[Rig Rocker]

Merrell's

 

[RCHuffer]

Any skateboarding brand shoes work best for me..:mrgreen:

 

[grover]

5-10 aproach shoes (stealth rubber!) I feel much more secure on the rocks with all that traction.

Vans. They stick to the rocks.

X 2 nice and cushy, but I need a new pair.

I usually just wear my new balance. I did however try on some of those weird looking shoes with the individual toes at REI and really liked them. Seemed to be good on the fake rocks they had in the store. I liked them because you could really curl your foot and grip things better.

Keen, most comftorable shoe/boot eva!"thumbsup"

 

[Crawford]

Merrel trail runners or my belleville boots.

pretty much anything with good arch support (boot) is good for my rocks as they're generally granite knobs that come out of the ground with very little area to actually support the rest of your foot.

Red Wing work boots. Like their motto says "made to fit, made to last""thumbsup"

 

[Manning]

Merrell high top light hikers.

 

[canadianbacon]

Nike basketball shoes, comfortable and have a soft grippy sole.

guys should look up 510 mtb shoes.
they make rockclimbing shoes but the mtb shoes you can wear wherever, find em at MEC they have the grippiest rubber ive ever come across.
