Top end technical approach shoe designed for the walk-in to a route and then the climb as well - "better fitting, better performing and better looking than ever" - according to Five-Ten. The daddy of all approach shoes, the Guide Tennie is a great hanging around the campsite/going to the pub/trotting up to a roadside crag trainer. It is, however, not a good approach shoe for British mountain crags where the near flat sole means that a potentially dangerous slip on steep mud or wet grass is more than likely.
Synthetic Propex upper with Leather reinforcement. Stealth® C4 dotty tread soles. Compression moulded EVA midsoles. Technical toe rand. Rocker built into last. Ankle to toe lacing for a higher performance.
Although the sizing is still virtually the same as in 2005, this new 2007 model is slightly rounder at the toe and a little less asymmetric. Most people will take their standard shoe size, or half a size larger.
