Comfortable

Fitted small for me so I am up a size and a half from from regular shoes, and a half size up from my other Nordas the 002. Super comfortable.

Great shoe

Snug fit. Very comfortable. Looks different, pity it doesnt come in a deep yellow to emphasize its uniqueness.

Perfect every day shoe for active use

Fit is glove-like, no pressure spots. They are a little tricky to pull on at first, but that pays off with stability once on. Highly recommend.

Bon produit

Grip et qualité des matériaux impeccable!

Il faut juste prendre une ou deux tailles au dessus si vous avez les pieds larges.

great approach shoe

Perfect purpose built item....fit and function much like a lace up version but a bit hard to get on. Once on thought they are a great shoe for moving at speed on uneven terrain, even for light scrambling. If you have a high instep would go a full size up.
