The unlined KINTARO is precise and sensitive with an aggressive down turned profile - ideal for bouldering and steep/overhanging climbs. NEW super sticky Zenith Rubber frictions incredibly well and is durable to boot! Backed by a thin midsole with anatomical cutaway (in the center forefoot) the KINTARO will maximize your use of holds in an entirely new way - edge, smear or latch the inner edge of the cutaway and pull on a crystal, knob or square-cut. This technique will give you more security on smaller holds and longer staying power for harder cruxes.
NEW also is Boreal's V2 rand which comfortably tensions and cradles your foot securely while allowing complete ankle movement. The rear half of the new Zenith rubber sole is also ribbed and sports a firm heel hooking edge - yet another advantage to pull yourself in and then rock onto the hold.
Manufactured from high quality split leather with reinforced double velcro closure and breathable & padded mesh tongue. Great for gym and sport climbers of all grades and abilities. Men's or Women's (narrower last and lower volume fit) available. Made in Spain, shipped worldwide.

TOOL TIP: For close barefoot fit - convert your US running shoe size to UK (ie US 11 = UK 10). Stick with this size for balance of comfort & performance or subtract 1/2 UK size - (UK 9.5) for super snug fit. For women's sizes - a UK5 = US Women's 7 as example.
