Approach shoes are hybrid footwear that have some characteristics in common with hiking boots, and others with rock-climbing shoes. Like a shoe or boot designed for hiking, a properly fitting approach shoe can be worn comfortably while walking for long distances. Like a climbing shoe, it generally has a specialized sticky rubber sole which maintains traction on steeper grades of rock. On more extreme terrain, or when carrying heavier loads, it supports neither task as well as more specialised footwear would.
APPROACH
What About
Since its very early days, Boreal pursued a research and development program to improve the performance of rock shoes and boots for hikers and mountaineers.
We produce all climbing shoes, trekking and mountaineering boots in-house at our factory in Villena, Spain.
Many employees stay at BOREAL for their entire careers. The company values and rewards the employees and we believe this is reflected in the consistent high quality of the footwear produced.
