"Best True Slip-On" - Backcountry
Three-way stretch knit entry with an elastic band stitched to a durable, comfortable, unlined vegan microsuede upper.
This shoe is tensioned from under the toe to the back of the heel while the laser etched rand generates tension as well.
The heel hooking capabilities of this shoe are unmatched. Essentially a talon (in shoe form) for the human foot.
The soft toe box combined with a split outsole allows for precision placement and power transfer on small foot holds and pockets.
We’ve spent the last two years (and maybe a little longer) concepting, designing, and sampling with Fred Nicole – a true climbing hero and expert in the field.
High performance Vibram XS GRIP climbing rubber is great for long wearing grip, good shape stability, edging, durability, and excellent performance in all around climbing conditions.

I sized mine to the beginner / comfort side of the scale. I wanted a shoe I could wear all day and have absolute comfort with no pressure on my feet, and total flexibility for my foot on the wall. These feel like wearing rubber socks in the best way possible! So comfortable, I’m climbing longer days because of them.
These things are fantastic! They are comfortable but don’t sacrifice performance. I feel confident heel-hooking. I did have to size down one half size compared to other so ill shoes. But these are great!
I’m surprised such a comfortable shoe performs so well. I love the vibram XS, sticky but lasts a while. I bought several pairs, but the first pair has lasted a lot longer than I expected it to. Couldn’t be happier.
