... a great entry into aggressive performance shoes for kids with growing feet. The performance is worlds better than the intermediate climbing shoes we tested, and the P3 platform gives it just the right amount of downturn. Many women with small feet love it for the price and the softness with the same technical features they've grown to love in the adult model. View more
Overall the Anasazi Pro has transformed the classic version in to a more bouldering, indoor and performance oriented shoe through the addition of toe rubber and a tighter heel. View more
The Katana Lace’s combination of slight downturn and asymmetry plus middle-of-the-road stiffness provides a powerful ability to climb straight-in cracks. The things that make the Katana Lace good for vertical edging (slight downturn/asymmetry, medium-stiff sole, etc.) also help with technical footwork on hard crack climbs, without being so aggressive or uncomfortable as to prohibit climbing cracks straight-in.

On the surface, the Lynx does not seem particularly performance-oriented. But once you spend some time climbing with it, you realize that Boreal has nailed a number of small design details, which together create a shoe that’s greater than the sum of its parts. View more
... the Otaki is well suited towards hanging around on small holds/edges (i.e. trad climbing) or using even smaller edges to move quickly and efficiently upwards to the lower-off (i.e. sport climbing). The stiffness and support that the boot offers makes it quite versatile, particularly for the UK climber, as it is well suited towards a wide variety of different angles from edgy slabs, through vertical walls, to gently overhanging terrain.

The Ozones are an excellent 'jack of all trades' shoe. They're stiff enough for edging, have enough flex for smearing, and whilst they are really comfortable they fit precisely enough for heel hooks and other technical shenanigans. View more
On the thin edges of granite slabs of Boulder Canyon and Vedauwoo, I was able to stand strong and confidently while figuring out the next move or clipping a bolt. In Eldo, Lumpy and Moab, the Ras stuffed into cracks and provided ample support. View more
Whenever I need to stand on tiny little nothings, I'll reach for the Katakis. View more
