Previously I had two pair of slip-ons I used for bouldering. But those kicks had been resoled 2x each. Not to mention that the smell had gotten to be too much for me. Plus those slip-ons were incredibly uncomfortable. Not because of anything related to the shoes, but because I bought 1 or 2 sizes down, as was the style at the time.<\/p>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-UoVGECDKe8Q\/T8lApWZd1II\/AAAAAAAAFgM\/ypTi3xyTu8w\/s1600\/IMG_6390.JPG\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" height=\"300\" src=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-UoVGECDKe8Q\/T8lApWZd1II\/AAAAAAAAFgM\/ypTi3xyTu8w\/s400\/IMG_6390.JPG\" width=\"400\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;Red Chili calls the Durango an all day shoes and they are certainly comfortable without giving up performance.<\/p>\n<p>The shoes feature an isometric last for improved fit and grip.<\/p>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-0c8uLGCkwMk\/T8lBT5Kci-I\/AAAAAAAAFgc\/FLz9DS_VwrM\/s1600\/IMG_6386.JPG\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" height=\"400\" src=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-0c8uLGCkwMk\/T8lBT5Kci-I\/AAAAAAAAFgc\/FLz9DS_VwrM\/s400\/IMG_6386.JPG\" width=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>They Durango has full length laces so you can dial in the fit (for me loose in the toes, tight in the heel, not that you cared).<\/p>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-kD8IpQxZ0Lc\/T8lBqqihAXI\/AAAAAAAAFgo\/qgTwvx3cHWg\/s1600\/IMG_6391.JPG\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" height=\"300\" src=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-kD8IpQxZ0Lc\/T8lBqqihAXI\/AAAAAAAAFgo\/qgTwvx3cHWg\/s400\/IMG_6391.JPG\" width=\"400\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>And a great feature, they have dual pull loops on the back.
