Mad Rock Frenzy Lace Climbing Shoes

Mad Rock Frenzy Lace Climbing Shoes

Can there be such a thing as a “classic sport climbing shoe?” As much as that is a contradiction in terms, we think we hit the target, balancing all-day comfort with shredding performance. The classic split leather upper Plush padding is the order of the day: The ankle, heel cuff and tongue cradle your feet with 2 mm of polyurethane foam, and the entire shoe is lined with brushed polyester to help keep the perspiration down and allow for a degree of stretch. The tongue is an all new Mad Science design: Anatomically moulded, 3-D, and gusseted to minimise slipping and maximize breathability, comfort and superior fit. Comfort at the expense of performance, however, is just plain wrong — so we hopped this shoe up with great attributes like medium-stiff midsoles for edging and cracks, high toe rands for jamming and hooking; and of course there's the super sticky Formula #5 rubber for the grip you need. The Frenzy — a paradox in the form of an all-day, all-around performance rock shoe.
