Best Alpine Climbing Shoe/Hiker

For 50/50 hiking climbing there is no question gandalf is best shoe. Just don't size too small. The mid soles are way more supportive than guide tennie, which is also a great shoe. But after 15 miles you're feet will be sore in guide tennie. If you're doing more hiking than climbing and/or carrying a big pack the Ganda guide is sweet, super comfortable but you can still climb. For what it's worth all the exum guides use Ganda guides up there.

As some have suggested, the fit is very important. Five Ten and Sportiva often have very different fits and I'd have a hard time suggesting either if you can't try themnon or are prepared to return them if they arent right.
