If you have wide or high-volume feet and need a shoe that excels on long approaches, cross-country hikes, big walls, and low 5th-class climbs, the Mescalito Planet is an excellent choice. However, if you have narrow feet, these shoes will likely be too wide, and their climbing ability will be lost as your foot slides around the inside. Because of their weight, they are also not the best shoe for carrying up multi-pitch climbs. That said, for their ability to climb well, hike comfortably, and provide ample support for heavy days, these shoes are excellent all-around performers. They cost a lot, but they are worth the investment – again, if you have the right foot for the fit.
In terms of performance, the uppers have proved comfortable and robust for hiking, crossing scree and climbing in. I’ve been using them for most of the summer and they are showing little signs of wear, I am a heavy user as I am out regularly. I have noticed some small nicks to the EVA midsole – but this would be perfectly normal in the terrain I venture out in. The generous toe rand is perfect for scrambling and adds an element of water resistance for that occasional unavoidable large puddle. The toe rand is quite long as the Mescalito range is designed as a technical mountain shoe with the ability to climb cracks so you should consider this.
