UnParallel Up-Rise Pro Climbing Shoe Purple/Yellow, 8.0

The UnParallel Up-Rise Pro is built for the kind of trad climbing where soft sensitivity is a liability on sustained crack systems, small granite edges, and long pitches where foot fatigue compounds. The moccasin-style construction wraps the foot close to the rock. The SOLO Suede upper resists the stretch that softer shoes develop over a season of hard use, so the fit stays precise from the first pitch to the last. What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I reach for these on long trad days where I know I'll be jamming cracks for hours. The wrap-over toe rand torques into the rock instead of folding under load, and the stiff midsole keeps my feet from screaming by the third pitch."
