Sorry - but no from me too for nearly all the reasons already mentioned above.

Ditto. It's already easy to just change shoes.

like the idea but don't know if i would buy them. Keep up the work man.

I size my climbing shoes to be pretty snug. Hate the thought of hiking down anything in them (and have) not as much due to wearing out the soles, but, baggin' out the uppers.

I clip a pair of approach shoes on my harness. Win win.

Interesting idear, though.

No thanks. The real problem for me isn't needing a more durable sole, it's needing a more comfortable shoe to wear when I'm not climbing.

Nope. Would not buy. I don't need shoes for my shoes.

I bought some used toms that I use for "in between" (not approach) times. Work well. I'd probably buy the cheaper rack room ones next time though

Nope. For a long walk-off, I'm carrying comfortable shoes.

I just use a snug but comfortable pair of water slippers that have knobby treads and just enough padding - super light.

nope- climbing shoes aren't nice to walk in - flip flops baby.

In all honesty, this seems like an idea worse than the ATC sport.

I hope you're also getting feedback on this idea from other sources. The inmates over at rc.com would even be better than getting advice from this crowd of gumbies and over inflated egos.

Not sure if this idea is a winner but I like the way you're headed with it! Keep at it, something will pan out!

The fact that these would only work for non-aggressive, flat, multipitch shoes kind of defeats the purpose for me. I already don't care about a bit of wear on multipitch shoes, and so would not need these covers; the shoes that I would want to protect with covers like this would be tighter, downturned models, which I would not be walking in anyway.

Does anyone know the number for Rock and Resole?

I wouldn't buy these, but if you made a super-lightweight approach/descent shoe, (like the old Sportiva Superfly) I'd buy that.

Because you still have to take off your climbing shoes and sandals are shit for walking on rougher terrain. The Walk-offs are supposed to be approach shoes you slip on over your climb shoes.

at a local crag people wear shoe covers to keep sand and dirt off soles between climbs, these range from crocs to galoshes and shoe covers sold at hardward store. All very cheap and light.

I can't remember the brand name but a friend of mine started producing a similar product in the SE.... I haven't heard of any more news since then, nor have I seen more than one pair in the 3 years I've known about them....

just an fyi

Sure non aggressive, gumbies whatever - was just recalling ur post so whatever you like. You're saying the issue with flip flops is they suck on the downhill and you have to take your shoes off. Well by that right you have to stop and fit these to your shoes so what's the difference? You're taking away one step and adding another and I say that since stepping into a flip flop isn't really a process or step like putting on sneakers or boots (though I do slide my approach shoes on these days without tieing them so even that take a second. The other thing is that even non aggressive climbing shoes don't have the support or the positioning to be good for descending steep terrain so this product would have to integrate an approach shoe and support onto a climbing shoe to make it any better then just a crapy flip flop. So at that point you're now still putting on a pair of shoes (or something very close to it) but now u just don't have to take your tight ass climbing shoes off.. you can leave those uncomfortable things on. So wait why do I want to leave on these tight climbing shoes? Also I'm having a lot of trouble figuring out how you think this product is actually going to secure to the shoe and not slide around or rotate around the foot as someone smears and traverses on steep slopes or scree. The sole would have to have some actually support and stiffness not to rotate imo.

No, I would not buy it.
