Technician Approach Shoe

The Technician is Black Diamond's lightest approach shoes, and it thrives on technical terrain where you aren't too sure where the hike ends and the climb begins. Unique to all other approach shoes, the Technician features Black Diamond's 3D Wrap Construction that uses a midfoot strap to stay snug and precise as you edge and slab you're way to the best looking spot to flake a climbing rope. The EnduroKnit upper is surprisingly durable for how light and breathable it feels, and Black Diamond's new rubber ensures traction on mountainous terrain.

Way too narrow and small.

Familiarity:
I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions

People say order one full size up on these, so I did. They?re still too small. Both short and narrow. IMO need to go 1.5 sizes up? just a bummer how can the fit be so incredibly off? My feet are totally cramped and make them unwearable. Extremely uncomfortable.

I love this shoe, but heed my advice.

Familiarity:
I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions

They?re comfortable. They?re super good looking and I had to return the original pair because it was too small. Definitely buy these shoes, but ORDER ONE WHOLE SIZE LARGER than you normally would.

Tightest shoe I've ever tried on.

Too narrow and undersized for as rigid a shoe as this is.
