Sausalito Climbing Shoe

RX-1 Allround Rubber is a specialized rubber compound used in our climbing shoes that strikes a perfect balance between grip and durability. This means you can trust it to provide excellent traction on various surfaces while also lasting longer, reducing the need for frequent replacements. This feature is essential for climbers who want reliable performance without sacrificing longevity.

The asymmetrical curvature of the shoe positions your big toe closer to the center of your foot, enhancing precision and control while climbing. This design is particularly beneficial for technical climbs where foot placement is crucial. Our shoes feature a neutral curvature, making them comfortable for longer climbs while still providing the necessary support for challenging routes.

A flat profile means the shoe maintains a more natural foot position without a steep downward angle. This design is ideal for long climbs, as it reduces foot fatigue and discomfort, allowing you to focus on your climbing rather than your footwear. If you’re planning extended climbing sessions, a flat profile shoe can significantly enhance your overall experience.

A full forefoot rand wrap provides extra protection and durability to the shoe, especially in high-wear areas like the toe and sides. This feature is crucial for climbers who often jam their shoes into cracks or rough surfaces, as it helps prevent damage and extends the life of the shoe. With this added protection, you can climb with confidence, knowing your shoes can withstand the rigors of the sport.

A hemp footbed is made from a natural fiber known for its durability and odor-resistant properties. This means that even after long climbing sessions, your shoes will stay fresher for longer, reducing the buildup of unpleasant smells. Additionally, the hemp material provides a comfortable and supportive base for your feet, enhancing your overall climbing experience.

The combination of RX-1 Allround Rubber, asymmetrical curvature, flat profile, full forefoot rand wrap, and hemp footbed creates a climbing shoe that is not only durable and protective but also comfortable and performance-oriented. Together, these features ensure that you can tackle various climbing challenges with confidence, whether you're on a long route or a technical ascent. Investing in a shoe with these attributes can significantly improve your climbing performance and enjoyment.
