A sticky Vibram® sole and zonal cushioning combine the very best of running shoes & rock shoes.

Serving up a little bit of rock shoe a touch of running shoe and a pinch of hiking boot the Garmont Women's Sticky Cat Hiking Shoe is a solid choice for the person who gravitates to rock whether it's slickrock rambling casual bouldering or approaching the biggest of big walls. A sticky Vibram® Crossover outsole provides traction on dirt trails or exposured ridgelines and a performance lace-to-toe fit offers the sensitivity necessary for making confident 5th class moves. A dual durometer EVA midsole is another contributor to the shoe's fabulous sensitivity placing firmer material underneath the forefoot for better feel on rock and softer material beneath the heel for cushioning that feels like a road running shoe. The Garmont Sticky Cat Hiking Shoe for women does not shy away from hauling heavy loads of climbing hardware. A firm EVA protection plate underneath the midfoot zone supports and stabilizes the extra load on the feet making long marches back to the car a much more pleasant experience especially after peeling off your shrink-wrap tight rock shoes. And to further care for the feet a mesh upper with quick dry lining provides a low moisture interior environment that reduces the possibility of blisters and odor build-up.
