The Boreal Crux Lace rock climbing shoe features a moderately downturned and asymmetric last shape, placing the foot into a powerful position to optimise small edges. The supple one-piece heel cup and wrap-rand provides unparalleled heel security when pulling hard. In most rock boots, the heel is tensioned with a basic single band of rubber, which simply pulls and compresses the heel cup. With the V2 Rand, Boreal have used 2 bands to tension a much larger area. By providing tension further towards the front, the shoe is pulled into the arch of the foot and the heel is more securely held. This eliminates any dead space, creating a precise and comfortable fit.
The upper is a vegan friendly synthetic microfibre with recycled mesh tongue. The lace closure features widely spaced lace loops, allowing easy entry and secure fit even for low volume feet. Underneath the Crux Lace uses Zenith Pro 2.0 rubber for incredible edging performance and friction. The middle of the sole uses recycled Eco rubber. The world of high-performance shoes can be confusing, each model focusing on a narrow aspect of climbing. Crux Lace offers a refreshing change.

The Scarpa Vapour Lace is probably the best all round climbing shoe in the world.. and it just got better! A high tension boot with a narrow last and central toe point makes the Vapour Lace ideal for a close fitting and precise fit. That centre toe point also works well for those with Morten's Toe. The Vapour Lace is slightly downturned and stiff, to give extra purchase on steep, small holds. This is compounded using Vibram's XS Edge rubber technology.

This, combined with the P3 system, allows Katana Laces to keep their shape and characteristics unchanged even after many hours of use.
