Product Details
Description:
As tough as an Irish warrior, yet designed for the eco-friendly, the Finn approach shoe from Patagonia guards your feet from rough terrain with a combination of durable, lined mesh uppers, reinforced rubber toes and air-cushion midsoles. While you get the grip you need with the Vibram EcoStep outsole, crafted from 30% recycled rubber, you get ample support from the steel shank and Bi-Fit dual-density insole board crafted from recycled plastics.

Features:

  • Feet stay cool in the breathable mesh uppers that also protect them from brush and rocks with help from the durable lining, reinforced rubber toe, and external counter
  • Cradle your feet in the air-cushion, compression-molded midsole that has a 15% recycled EVA center
  • Get the cushioning you need from the Bi-Fit dual-density insole board made with 100% recycled polyethylene and polyurethane
  • Stabilize your foot with the steel shank that allows flex only in the correct zones
  • Your feet are less sweaty and smelly thanks to Poli-Cork footbeds constructed with 70% recycled foam that wicks moisture and blocks odors with active carbon and cork bits
  • Works well for longer, narrow feet thanks to the medium-to-narrow width, tapered toe box and medium arch

Specifications:

  • Upper: synthetic mesh
  • Lined: yes
  • Sole: rubber (30% recycled)

Comments about Patagonia Footwear/Wolverine Finn Approach Shoe - Men's:

I've had these shoes since June. For the first couple of months they were great, I admit I mostly wear these as casual shoes since I already own many different specialty shoes for whatever given circumstance. Being that I wear these as day shoes and not using them in any overly rough way I was quit unhappy when the rubber toe surround started coming unglued from the shoe at the flex points on both shoes. This started about a month and a half after I purchased them and has only gotten worse with time. Apart from the poor construction quality they are very comfy shoes. They fit true to size and you can't complain about the vibram soles. If you don't mind giving these shoes a little tlc after the fact with some shoe goo or whatnot then go for em'. I've had multiple pairs of 5.10 approach shoes that haven't had these types of problems.

Comments about Patagonia Footwear/Wolverine Finn Approach Shoe - Men's:

great shoe. i just purchased my second pair. my first held up for about a year of weekend hiking and backpacking, city walks, and running around in the park. tread is worn thin but the shoe still looks new. insole stayed comfy and has held up well. The cardboard inner supporting the metal part has started to wilt and fall apart but after many creek & stream crossings, and Seattle down pours thats expected.

Comments about Patagonia Footwear/Wolverine Finn Approach Shoe - Men's:

I have used it climbing steep rocky paths but not rock climbing yet. I am pleased with the fit, stability and lack of slide, firm sole, grip on rocks, and overall look. I await to see how they hold up to use as I just got them 2 weeks ago. chuck
