BOREAL Satori Climbing Shoes Purple / Green, 37.5

BOREAL Satori was developed with our worldwide athletes to create the ultimate bouldering shoe. With an aggressively downturned and asymmetric last shape and mega sticky BOREAL® Zenith Ultra™ rubber, Satori features outstanding sensitivity and optimized heel hooking ability to perform on the hardest problems. Features: - The highly downturned and asymmetric last shape cradles the foot and maximizes power at the toe. The innovative Wrap Rand™ surrounds and supports the foot, while the combined lace and strap M2 Fit™ closure system keeps everything secure. The lined, synthetic upper with integrated elastic tongue ensures a comfortable fit with minimal stretch. - The rand and toe patch are constructed from a single piece, providing outstanding friction and sensitivity for toe hooks. The snug 3D moulded heel in our outstanding Zenith™ rubber results in exceptional heel hooking ability, and the graded midsole provides an ideal balance between stiffness on micro edges, and softness on smears.

Excellent toe hooking ability. Ideal shoe for overhanging climbs, bouldering and gym Technology: Mix2Fit: - One of the difficult decisions often faced by climbers is whether to choose the precision and adjustability of a lace-up shoe, or the convenience of a strap closure. With the innovative Mix2Fit system, Boreal has combined elements of both lace and strap closures to create a highly adjustable and secure yet convenient system with the principle benefits of both. - Regular lace-up shoes provide excellent adjustability, but are often slower and less convenient to use. - Our Mix2Fit system uses a captive lace cord which offers comparable levels of adjustability to a regular lace shoe. The key difference however is that once pulled tight the lace is then secured with a strap tab instead of a knot and so fitting and removal is just as quick and convenient as a strap shoe. Wrap Rand: - The wrap rand takes the concept of our V2 Rand and develops it further. The rubber surrounds the arch of the foot and supports it in the optimum position for strength and precision. - In most rock boots, the heel is tensioned with a basic single band of rubber, which simply pulls and compresses the heel cup. Boreal have developed a more thorough tensioning system with the Wrap Rand. - A much wider area of the shoe is tensioned, with the strap running all the way under the foot and around the heel. This provides a stable, secure platform for the foot without compromising sensitivity or freedom of movement.
