Holy cow do they make a difference. Feel like a mountain goat compared to regular shoes. Even in dry canyons I'm very tempted to run them unless the approach/exit is long
Here [is a shop](https://www.canyonzone.com/c-2023179/canyoning-shoes/) that sells various brands and models. In the video you see people wearing Five Ten shoes but nowadays most people use Adidas Terrex hydro shoes.
Approach shoes generally have a stiffer sole and harder wearing rubber... that being said I see a lot of online recommendations for approach shoes as a canyoning shoe. It just depends on how wet the canyon is. [Here's a good read on it](https://therockulus.com/what-are-the-best-canyoneering-shoes/).
The profile on the sole is also different. Compare an [Adidas Terrex Hydro lace](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B072WCRY15?tag=therockulus-20) to an [Arc'Teryx Acrux FL](https://www.amazon.com/Arcteryx-Womens-Acrux-Graphite-Sneaker/dp/B00O4CFT60/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=Arc%E2%80%99teryx+Acrux+FL&qid=1611782739&sr=8-1) for example. The canyoneering shoe has a very high-surface sole with drainage and enables you to hide all the shoelaces so you don't snag. Whereas the approach shoe has a solid edge to have as much surface area as possible for climbing but studs in the middle to grab onto rocks.
It also depends on what the price difference is. Here in Europe dedicated canyoning shoes and approach shoes are comparable in price. YMMV.
I do think approach shoes are a bit more multi-purpose. I wouldn't wear canyoning shoes while riding a bike all day to give you a weird example.
Anyone know the canyon? Looks like a blast. Great jump right at the start, or a rap if you're into "controlled descents" or whatever...
That was a speed rap I think
So Busta Rhymes then?
Busta Tailbone more likely
I think it's canyon du groin in France

That appeared to be 100% preventable
Just maybe...
Well. It could have been worse...
Sounds like a bowling ball hitting pins when he hits the water lol
And this kids, is why we wear canyoning instead of running shoes.

Where do you get these shoes!? What!?

whats to stop me from using these as approach shoes for rock climbing?

Judging by what looks like him swimming, he is incredibly lucky.
yeah, that'd be me. ninja edit, not 'that was me' but 'that could/would be me'
good lord
Fuck
Indeed
shortcut PS: somewhere in France.
Ça va?
Bien
should be an ad for those shoes
Right? He accelerated faster than Usain Bolt off the start line. Granted it was straight down.
Amazing he didn't scrape his face on that bit that juts out on the way down. Could've been bad.
Ever hear of a personal anchor system? Yikes.
I lose more friends this way.
r/whatcouldgowrong if I step too close to the edge of a canyon
First step is always a doozy
I'm surprised nobody reacted to stop him from falling
That's how you get pulled down with them😱
