With the Rapid XT, walking comfort may come first, but on-the-rock performance is a close second. This is a capable approach shoe, and while I would still prefer my TX4s for something meatier like a Cuillin Ridge traverse or a big mountain Diff, I'd happily choose the Rapid XT for hillwalking, scrambling days, and rugged crag approaches. It's well built, too, and looks like solid value at the price.
Overall I’m super impressed with Rapid XT. It’s a solid workhorse approach/trail/hiking shoe that isn’t the lightest (400g per shoe size 42) but not the heaviest either. It’s not quite the holy grail, lightweight, sticky approach shoe I was hoping it might be for summer rock guiding, but it’s pretty damn good. They also look great, IMHO!
