I decided to get B5 once the climbing season is coming. I knew that this approach shoes does not has any coat against water and considering that I live in a country where it rains almost every day in summer I started to avoid using it during such season. But taking a look on this shoes I recognized that they are ready for all season. Well, in a few days a got lots of rain in delicated terrain and I felt really safe on wet slab. Even tough the shoes were completed wet, they didn´t lose any performance and the weight didn´t increase so much. The only problem that I noticed so far is some wear on the lace. I recommend this shoes for every one who needs extra performance in steep ground.

Just did a "Big Day Out" in these shoes. 20hrs on the go almost non-stop. The shoes hike really well, and the sticky rubber is certainly appreciated on mossy, wet, rock. The impact absorption was noticeable, and my feet were in better shape than my partner's at the end of the day. I climbed up to 5.7 in these shoes no problem on some edgy-stuff and slab. For smearing on climbs harder than 5.8 I'd still recommend climbing shoes. But for edgy climbs some freaks out there could crank 5.10 in these I'm sure. The best thing about these shoes is that they dry out super fast! After wading into a creek they were dry after 2 more hours of hiking and the 4hr climb. My friend's Merrel Trail Running shoes were still soaked the next morning 12hrs+ later! I highly recommend these shoes!
