Climbing Shoes are designed to make your life on a rock face that much easier by maximising friction on the rock.
A lot of research has been put into developing the perfect rubber sole for Rock Climbing Shoes to find the compromise between stickiness and durability.
Climbing Shoes come in slight variations:
- Downturned Climbing Shoes (when the toe is bent downwards) are designed for performance, increasing your ability to stand on small holds and pockets
- Full Toe Rubber on a Climbing Shoe increases friction for toe hooks and certain other climbing moves but decreases the ventilation
- Climbing Shoes are available with either laces or Velcro or as slip-ons to suit personal preference but laces will create the tightest fitting
