Salomon Women's Speedcroos 6 Trail Running Shoes, Black/Black/Phantom, Size 8

As a climber, sometimes I have long approach hikes to my intended climb. Not only are these shoes comfortable, they have the best grip out of any hiker that I've worn, even better than my BD approach shoes. I have started wearing them for every hike and approach, because I know I can trust that they won't slip on variable terrain. I was recommended these shoes by a fellow climber friend, and I think they will be my chosen shoe for life (until the quality goes down, ha!). They are also super light weight which is a great bonus when clipping shoes to your harness! I also have narrow feet with weird, high arches and I do not experience much pain when wearing these shoes.
