Approach shoes work very well for hiking and easy grades of rock climbing, generally 5.5 and below. They are low cut hiking shoes with a closely trimmed, sticky rubber sole. Near the inside edge of the big toe you will usually see flat areas, useful for edging.

They work for me, since many of my hikes seem to involve scrambling and the occasional need for precise footing. I have not used the specific model you are looking at, so I can't help you there. The most important feature of any shoe is how well they fit your feet.
