Shadow Climbing Shoe

When your project is so ambitious it always casts a shadow, that's when you use these secret weapons. Designed for overhanging sport routes and hard bouldering, the Shadow features an aggressive, curved shape with our molded sticky rubber (inspired by how we forge our carabiners) and not cut from a single sheet of rubber. This is our technical solution to optimize the rubber and reinforcements in our shoes for weight, consistency, and comfort. The Shadow features a stretch-resistant microfiber upper, and the shoe's vamp features an innovative combination of high-friction printed and molded rubber. The molded rubber is strategically placed in high-use areas, while the printed rubber minimizes bulk, and in combination, these rubbers provide better top-of-foot dexterity and purchase when toe-hooking. The tongue is made from our Engineered Knit technology, which is exceptionally breathable and increases mobility and comfort. Featuring a minimalist midsole, the Shadow is ultra-responsive and allows you to park on steep terrain.
