Hikes great, climbs ok
These shoes are perfect for 4th class climbing and lightweight backpacking. They have more support than most ‘approach shoes’ but are also a bit heavier. They smear pretty well, thanks to the stealth rubber, but don’t edge worth a flip. If you want comfy shoes to hang out in, these are the ones. For something a little more climbing oriented, get the Guide Tennies. Get the same size as your Five Ten rock shoes and they’ll fit perfect.

Spiderman shoes!
So, these shoes ain't going to complement your Tux very well, hell they don't even look great with jeans... but man, I think these were a prototype for Spider Man or something. Even in very wet conditions, these things made my most recent scramble on a trip up to the White Mountains a breeze. I don’t remember slipping once, or not being able to toe-up even the steepest stuff we saw all day! Great shock absorption as well- In short, Superior function, not a fashion statement.

Training Tips

If you consume 100 calories a day more than you need, you will gain about 10 pounds in a year. A reasonable combination of diet and exercise can help control your weight. The key is to balance your caloric intake with the amount of exercise.

You can increase your maximum oxygen consumption by approximately 15% when you work out three times a week for at least 30 minutes at 70% of your maximum heart rate.

Low weight, high rep circuit training combines the best of both worlds: aerobic and anaerobic training. Keeping the rest time in between high repeats low excercises like bench press, leg presses, inclined sit-ups, and upright rows is the key to maximum benefits.
