ProLite Gear

For fast, technical approaches, the Millet Men’s Radikal Speed Shoe protects and supports your foot over rough, mountainous terrain. The Rakidal’s Boa lacing system uses a continuous metal cable to tighten the entire shoe around your foot, and the double-wall, honeycomb construction provides rigid support while cutting overall weight. The durable heel and toe rand brushes off rocky scuffs and scrapes, while the Vibram Mulatz Light sole grips slick trails without the clunky feeling.

Bottom Line:A supportive, lightweight shoe for speedy mountain approaches.

Good Shoe

Runs small, wish Backcountry would carry a 12.5 as the 12 was a tad too small for my foot. Liked the last of the shoe and the ease of use but the size of the shoe was pretty small for a size 12. Solid contruction too, if a 12.5 mens pops up i'll buy a pair to keep.

Favorite approach shoes yet

Great shoes. Lightweight, breathable and very comfortable. Not sold on the BOA lacing system yet, we'll see how they perform on the next hike. Other than that though, definitely worth the money.
