Five Ten Guide Tennie
Back by popular demand, Five Ten’s classic low-top Guide Tennie can hike as well as it can climb. The hybrid design is at the same time practical and urban for the ultimate comfort, whether you’re mid-approach or in town. Thirty years ago this was the original approach shoe, and the small changes over the years have refined its all-round performance and seen a reduction in weight. Five Ten have added a rockered last to make walking even more comfortable, and the Stealth C4 rubber sole smears better than anything on all types of rock - we can see why it's such a popular choice!

Stealth C4 Sole
Tried and true, Stealth C4 is a specially developed rubber used in the soles of Five Ten climbing shoes. It is super sticky and allows climbers to stick to barely-there edges, lock into smears on microscopic nubbins and cruise up technical terrain with unparalleled confidence in their footwork.
Tennies work very well if you are looking for a pair of shoes which you can use for both (easy) climbing, hiking and a casual night out. They don't draw as much attention as heavy hiking boots if you're out and about, but they do provide plenty of support for hiking and the nose/sole has excellent grip on easier climbing routes. I personally use them for easy multipitches and approaches to multipitches as they are very light-weight (fit easily into a small backpack) and comfortable.
It's an amazing shoe, tried it out at a crag - great for approach and light climbing. Recommend buying same size as normal shoe.
A simple yet perfectly balanced shoe to meet all your requirements. From a foggy wet day around town to the most technical approaches and trails you can find. Best one I had so far!
I love these but, try before you buy. Mine are 1.5 sizes smaller than my climbing shoes and 2 sizes smaller than my street size.
Ideal shoe not only for rocky terrain and easy climbs but also for walking in the city. I took the same size as my running shoes and it fits perfectly. A great approach shoe at an affordable price.
