As a climber I like Boreal as a company and have had several pairs of their rock shoes.I wanted something along the lines of an approach shoe which didn't look too "technical" down the pub or for day to day wear when I came across these shoes. On arrival I was very impressed by the quality and hoped they'd fit...My size 10 shoes fitted my size 10 feet perfectly, extremely comfortable straight from the box. I hope they'll wear well, if they do (& it looks promising) I'll be ordering another pair in a different colour!I like that Boreal shoes are all manufactured at their Spanish factory and largely by hand.
