Wide Fit: No Lining: Pacific coupled with microfibre zones Midsole: Anatomical Hytrel support of the metatarsal arch combined with the P3 system™ Patent: P3 System™ (Permanent Power Platform) Sole: Vibram® XS Grip2 3 mm Upper: Combination of suede leather with microfibre
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.
XS grip 2: The natural evolution of the lead and bouldering world championship-winning compound, XS Grip 2 improves upon the superior grip characteristics of XS Grip and delivers outstanding precision of support, shape stability. Suggested use: in climbing conditions where pure friction is the primary need. Disciplines: bouldering and lead climbing, indoor and outdoor climbing, extremely. Exceptional grip in every condition. www.vibram.com
This patented construction system leaves the arched shape of the climbing shoe unaltered, without compromising original performance and push-power, even after years of hard use.
