La Sportiva Jeckyl VS Rock Shoe

Performance

A mostly flat design makes them comfy, and an ever-so-slight downturn allows you to toe-in on tiny nubbins on vertical routes.

Features

Two Velcro straps make them easy on, easy off. Relatively thick but super-sticky rubber (5mm Vibram XS Edge) combined with a semi-rigid midsole provides support and stability for overworked feet. Perforations in the leather upper boost breathability—and let us avoid climber-foot stank.

$120; 15.6 oz.
