Curious if anyone has picked up a pair of the new approach shoes black diamond released; either the Mission LT or the Technician. I'm curious to hear about the fit and performance of the shoe, as well as durability and overall impressions. Cheers!

I've tried them all and have been very pleasantly surprised! The Technician is geared towards better edging performance and has a tighter/narrower fit. The Mission is built for comfort and support on longer miles; thus it sports a roomier fit. I can't really speak to the durability, as it's just been a few weeks. But I'm very happy with the fit and performance.

The other two shoes are more "lifestyle" shoes and are more about style/comfort than performance. 

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
