It uniquely combines the sensitivity and performance of the “no-edge” technology to the comfort, precision and volume adaptability of lace-up models. This particular construction method allows for the perfect adaptation to different types of rock deriving from the larger surface area in contact with the holds, while comfort is guaranteed by the lacing system that allows for perfect regulation of inner volumes and wraps the foot snugly and precisely, providing even greater support. The Laspoflex midsole combined to the P3 Patent System in fact, provides support for the climber even if the shoe is not worn excessively tightly. This construction feature united to the lacing system makes the shoe adaptable to all types of foot, both narrow and wide fit. It is the ideal choice for use on rock walls, it can be worn for long periods thanks to the enhanced comfort features but it is also ideal for use on the boulders thanks to the grippy heel. Genius is the natural evolution of the climbing species.

Lining: None. Midsole: Anatomical support in Hytrel in the metatarsal region + P3 system Patent: P3 System (Permanente Power Platform) Sole: Vibram® XSGrip2 - 3 mm. Upper: Suede leather combined with microfiber. Slip lasted.
The patented No-Edge® concept has been developed along three distinct features: sensitivity, homogenous pressure and adaptability.
SENSITIVITY: thanks to the reduced layer of rubber, the No-Edge® construction system reduces the distance between the foot and the rock surface, enhancing foot sensitivity on holds.
HOMOGENOUS PRESSURE: the absence of any edges allows the foot to exert an homogeneous push on the inner side of the shoe.
ADAPTABILITY: the No-Edge® design maximises the surface area in contact with the foot under all conditions.
