Description
Sensitive shoes for dancing up steep sport routes and working moves on your training wall. They have good rubber coverage that lends itself to involved footwork and tricky hooking tactics. A bi-tensioned randing system keeps weight centered over the toe, but doesn't cram your foot forward.
- Durable Lorica® leather uppers.
- Rubber toe patch provides toe-scumming and hooking power.
- Slightly asymmetric, curved shape for precise foot placement.
- Vibram XS Edge rubber is designed to grip through friction moves.
- Members typically downsize 1-1.5 sizes (performance fit) or 0.5-1 sizes (comfort fit) from their street shoe size.
