Category: Approach Shoes

The El Cap is a comfort-first approach shoe designed to handle the most demanding technical hikes, summit scrambles, and via ferrata (fixed hiking/climbing) routes thanks to a Vibram Ferrata Megagrip outsole that combines underfoot traction with a highly-tactile climbing zone at the toe. A Hydrobloc suede upper is cut for maximum ankle protection against rock, while to-the-toe lacing and the tapered toe and snug heel of the last provide increased precision for technical adventures. The El Cap is purpose-built for climbers looking to move comfortably and securely in a variety of terrain and conditions.

Ella ★★★★★

Wore these on a week-long trip through the Dolomites and they handled scree, wet limestone, and a couple of via ferrata sections without a single slip. The Megagrip sole really shines when you're edging on metal rungs, and my feet weren't wrecked after 8-hour days.

Ryan ★★★★★

Scrambled up a via ferrata route last weekend and the Ferrata Megagrip outsole bit into the metal rungs way better than my old pair. For a shoe this padded it still feels precise on tiny edges.

Sofia ★★★★★

The Megagrip sole stuck to wet limestone like glue on a scramble I did yesterday, which is exactly what I needed. The fit runs a touch narrow through the midfoot but broke in after two hikes. Comfiest approach shoe I've owned so far.
