Millet Hybrid

Built with a straight last and chiseled toe, the Hybrid is billed as Millet’s all-purpose shoe. The Hybrid’s medium stiffness meant very able edging and frontpointing on small footholds, while the unlined leather upper and padded tongue kept it comfortable and allowed for stretch. Three Velcro straps that extend close to the ball of the foot offer better-than-average adjustability for a Velcro, and extra rubber atop the toe made this a great thin-crack shoe; the sole is Millet’s 4pt GRIP 4.5mm rubber. On the whole, testers found the Hybrid lived up to its name, combining comfort and precision.
