Chimera Climbing Shoe

Vibram XS Grip2 is engineered for exceptional traction and grip on various surfaces, especially rock. Its "extra sticky" formulation allows climbers to maintain better contact with holds, enhancing performance and confidence while climbing. This means you can tackle challenging routes with improved stability and control.

The Flexan Dynamic midsole is designed to be both flexible and supportive, allowing for optimal energy transfer from your foot to the shoe. This flexibility helps you adapt to different climbing movements, providing the responsiveness needed for precise foot placements and powerful pushes during climbs.

The PCB-Tension system, or Power Control Band, directs power from your foot to your big toe, enhancing your ability to push off effectively. This design feature improves control and precision, allowing you to make more accurate movements on the wall, which is crucial for tackling difficult climbs.

Asymmetric lacing allows for a more customized fit by angling the shoelaces, which reduces pressure points and provides a snugger fit around your foot. This tailored fit enhances comfort and performance, ensuring that your foot stays securely in place during climbs, which is essential for maintaining balance and control.

Surround Rubber Tension features rubber that wraps around the forefoot, providing extra grip for techniques like toe hooks. This design not only enhances traction but also helps maintain the shoe's shape and support during climbs. The tension keeps your foot securely in place, allowing for better performance and confidence on challenging routes.

The combination of Vibram XS Grip2 for traction, Flexan Dynamic for flexibility, PCB-Tension for power transfer, asymmetric lacing for fit, and Surround Rubber Tension for grip creates a shoe that maximizes performance. Together, these features ensure that you have the support, control, and confidence needed to tackle various climbing challenges effectively.
