2024 Backcountry Best Climbing Shoes - Gearhead® Approved Gear.

DESCRIPTION:

Built on an all-new, hand-shaped, downturned last with the expertise of Jae Jung and consultation with Fred Nicole, STAY features a durable and comfortable, unlined, vegan microsuede upper with a performance single-strap closure and d-ring integration for an ultra precise fit. The split-outsole is outfitted with high performance Vibram XS GRIP rubber for durability while including generous toe rubber coverage for all your hooking needs. This thinner rubber shoe creates sensitivity and larger contact patch (of rubber) when smearing on slab. STAY is a very soft, regular volume shoe which is ideal for vertical and overhung routes, large volume type climbing, and indoor competition climbing while offering enough support for small edging and slab. This shoe is unisex and developed for both indoor and outdoor climbing.
