Black Diamond Mission XP Leather
New for autumn and winter 2021, the Mission XP Leather approach shoe features a suede leather upper, grippy rubber outsole, toe rand, gusseted tongue and EVA midsole with stiff forefoot shank plate. Judge Lucy Wallace, who tested the Mission XP Leather on the Isle of Arran in Scotland, said: “This is a perfectly functional approach shoe.
I’m impressed by the diamond-shaped tread, which seems to deliver improved grip on grass. They are very light and thus easy to carry on the back of a harness, and I also like the lack of a waterproof membrane – the leather uppers deal with dew and puddles really well, regardless.”
