"Comfy Burly Shoe" 04/23/12
I purchased this shoe a few weeks ago and they have not let me down yet. I use them mostly as an everyday shoe however they do perform well on the trail. The lacing locks your foot tight to allow a precise fit. They run a little on the small side so I would suggest ordering a half size up unless you plan to use them for solely climbing where you may want a tighter fit. It has a nice aggressive sole that provides sure footedness on the trail and sticky yet durable rubber for the boulder fields. Overall I am very impressed with these shoes as I can use them on the trail, around town and at the crags.
"Perfect winter shoe" 12/02/11
These shoes are awesome. They are like a hiking boot with a low top and flexible sole. They do a great job of keeping your feet dry when walking through wet snow/water. They do run at least a size small. I usually wear a 45 and ended up having to go with a 45.5.
"Great shoe lame laces" 11/17/10
This is a great approach shoe. Probably not the most technical one on the market but super comfy and hikes well. It is also the only approach shoe in the line under $200.00. The only downside is the round laces do not stay tied. This can be an issue.
"Sticky. Fit like a climbing shoe. Ankle rolling a large possiblilty" 09/03/10
Ok, keep getting cut off for having more than 700 words so here it is. Great traction except on wet wood. Fit like a climbing shoe, which i like but non climbers would hate. The heel is and your ankle actually overlaps each side of the sole. You will roll your ankle at some point but all these other factors have forced me to buy another pair. Bottom line at some point im going to break my ankle, which im ok with, I just hope its not in some canyon somewhere
"Great for long days in mountains" 08/25/10
Just got back from 3 weeks in the Tetons and Wind River Range. These shoes did everything. They were just as comfortable as my hiking boots for long (8 miles, ~4000' vertical) hike-ins with 45+ lb packs. Super solid for crossing boulder fields and scrambling up loose rock. I felt very comfortable climbing up to 5.7 in them. They are great for smearing and jamming. Edging isn't ideal, but it was still pretty durned good for such big shoes. More secure when jamming wide or flaring cracks then my rock shoes. Finally, they held up great through 3 weeks of very serious use.Moral of the Boulder X story: if you want one shoe to handle every part of big alpine rock days, you want this shoe.
"Will this generation work?" 08/19/10
I absolutely loved the fit, function, and form of the Cirque Pro, the predecessor to this shoe. Hands down, it was the best approach shoe ever...unfortunately it would be useless after two weeks--the stiched seam around the heelpiece would just explode. I liked them so much I went through 3 pairs, hoping the next pair would be the ticket. Finally: The Boulder X has a rubber rand where that stitching used to be. I haven't taken these shoes out yet for a proper test, but they look like the problem should be solved. A few months of user reviews will seal the deal one way or the other, if you can wait a bit before committing.
"Great shoe for scrambling, decent for aid climbing" 08/01/10
Good shoe. It's very comfortable, and the sole is awesome for scrambling, approaches, and just walking around in. I had to return the first pair I ordered, though, because the sole started to separate from the shoe on the first use. Moosejaw replaced it for me for free, and even rushed the new pair to me in time for me to fly out to Yosemite to do some aiding. They did well, but durability is still a question.
"Great traction" 06/18/10
I have used these shoes scrambling around Smith Rock, Squamish, and Alabama Hills. The top of the shoes are filthy and have begun to wear out but the soles are top quality and stick to rock well. I found that the shoes were a bit small and thus I had to purchase half a size up from what I normally wear. I would recommend these shoes for rocky approaches.
