Many shoes offer adaptable lacing and fastening options to lock the foot securely in place, reducing unwanted movement and enhancing precision. The Thinsulate lining provides thermal insulation for cold conditions, and the synthetics used prioritise breathability and stretch control for a glove-like fit. Boreal combines advanced materials and traditional craftsmanship, ensuring shoes perform reliably on the rock while maintaining comfort for extended climbs.
Boreal uses performance Zenith Pro, Ultra, Quattro, and Endurance rubber compounds, designed for maximum friction, durability, and stickiness depending on the shoe’s intended use.
The IRS system features a single-piece climbing sole that increases fit, durability, and prevents deformation or delamination over time.
Boreal shoes should fit “comfortably tight” without causing pain, especially in the toe box, as shoes will stretch slightly to mould to your foot.
Boreal offers mixed closures - Velcro, laces, or hybrid systems - that allow fine-tuning fit for different climbing disciplines and foot types.
The Wrap Rand system locks both the heel and midfoot to offer optimal power transfer, stability, and a customised, locked-in fit.
The CHS incorporates shock-absorbing EVA under the heel, providing enhanced comfort when walking between routes or standing for prolonged periods.
