Right length but much stiffer, and tighter across my wide foot and high instep, than I've been used to with other approach/hiking shoes. (I'm not a climber but I like this kind of shoe.) I thought they'd ease, but was ready to give up before stuffing bags of water into them and freezing them. This worked amazingly well, now they're perfect. Equally stable and comfortable on dry rock, wet rock, gravel, cobbles, mud…. everything. Very grippy in all conditions I tried, yet muck doesn't build up on the soles. Highly recommended.
I'm on my 3rd pair and I've never had a problem with fit or break in on any pair I've purchased. I have high arches and the Camp 4's accommodate my feet perfectly. The extra thick rubber heel and toe cap offer excellent protection. In the summer I wear them almost every day, for approaches, work, casual, you name it. I love these shoes.If there's one weak spot its that the uppers split/wear-out faster than the soles do. A little patch work can easily fix the problem.I'll be buying another pair this spring………….
I've had these for a year. They suck as approach shoes, but are good for knock around because they fit so sloppy that they slip on and off without tying/untying, and the thick sole keeps you up out of the wet. Don't even think about climbing in them. Agree with the ankle-turning comments below.Have been through ~ 6 different approach shoes. The Gandas, while expensive, ROCK and climb up to 5.9
