"This shoe blends high design with serious climbing performance. The downturned last provides precision on small footholds, while the ultra-soft construction and thin midsole keep sensitivity high. The unlined microsuede upper molds to my foot over time, and the Salomon Quicklace System makes adjustments fast and secure. Whether I´m working a steep bouldering project or tackling large volumes, this shoe sticks where I need it most."
