Black Diamond Men's Circuit Approach & Hiking Shoes - Lightweight Trail Running & Outdoor Adventure Footwear for Hiking, Climbing & Travel

I work on a helicopter rescue team and recently purchased these instead of regular hiking/tactical boots. They are way more comfortable and provide just as much function on the cliffs or terrain. Highly recommend.I have had this shoes for 6 months now. Works the best at 5,280’ not 12,345’. Approach the bar and the grocery store with confidence but leave them at home if you tend to anything else. Toe cap has became unglued, internal base seams have begun to tear away from soul. If you get the souls wet at all you will fall, on your butt or face. Promise. It’s a comfortable and lightweight shoe for everyday life, but the price does not match the promise. $100 dollar shoe should last. If you are already breaking the $100 price point put $30 more on the table and get the Scarpa approach. They last for years and are actually approach shoes. These shoes are kind of a joke, and I’m kind of not happy about it.Black Diamond size 11 fits perfect. If you wear an 11 in Keen, NB or Merrill these will fit you perfect. Very light weight and comfortable and after 3 months they show very little wear.Good shoe, but little arch support.Shoes fit as expected, comfortable hiking to the crag.Unfortunately, the toe cap delaminated. Had to return them. They were super comfortable and good looking. Wish the glue was stronger on the toe cap!Walking and hikingMost comfortable approach shoe I've worn! Good sticky rubber. Fit true to size.I had a pair of Salomon Acros and they were excellent. Very comfy, even on longer hikes, and they looked like a skate shoe. Sadly they were discontinued.These BD shoes look ok, they are light and the sole is pretty grippy.But they are quite a basic shoe; with limited tech in the sole cushioning, and a cheap insole. They are not designed for long hikes.I also have a complaint on quality too - the joint between toe-cap and fabric upper of the shoe has excess glue which has collected dust and now has a brown rim around the toe cap.So they aren't good looking for more civilian activites, and they aren't particularly good for technical walking. They might suffice for trips too/from the gym.Arrived on time with no customs issues or anything. Fits as expected, a reasonably well built and comfortable shoe. Construction is a little basic and there is zero arch support. But it looks great, fits well and is comfy.Almost too nice looking shoe to get it dirty to go climbing! Comfortable for long walks, really nice fit
