Frequently Asked Questions

What makes this shoe suitable for via ferrata?

The Climbing Lacing system allows precise fit adjustment, while the Vibram Tech Approach sole provides the grip needed on metal rungs and rock surfaces. The 3F System adds ankle support for stability on exposed routes.

How does the 360 aramid edging protect the shoe?
