The Boreal Beta features a symmetric and very mildly downturned last shape with a medium tension, low volume heel. This helps introduce a more technical fit, and allows more advanced techniques using the heel to be used.
The upper is constructed from a highly breathable knitted synthetic textile, providing low stretch and great next–to-skin feel. A medium stiffness midsole paired with the sticky and durable Zenith Quattro™ rubber provides the ideal blend of edging support and long-lasting friction. The Beta is a highly versatile shoe which could be sized for comfort on multi-pitch or all day climbing, or sized tightly for higher performance and training.
The large levels of comfort and support keep your feet from tiring out which allows you to climb for much longer. This means whether you're a beginner to intermediate climber that is not used to wearing climbing shoes for long periods, or a high level climber looking to keep the aggressive shoes in the bag for the projects, these shoes will serve you very well.

The innovative one-piece sole and rand construction of the Integrated Rand System (IRS) allows Boreal to finely tune the rubber thickness around the shoe for the optimum balance of fit, performance and durability. By combining the rand and sole unit into one piece, there is zero chance of delaminating.
The Boreal Cushioned Heel System (CHS) an EVA shock absorbing insert under the heel cushions and protects the foot with no loss of climbing performance. This means that walking between routes and stepping off the rock onto hard, uneven surfaces can be achieved in comfort.
Zenith rubber is a high performance rubber developed by Boreal. Zenith is designed for no-compromise performance, and features incredible friction properties combined with an ability to hold micro edges. This ultimate compound is featured on our highest performance rock shoe models.

I love the Boreal Beta. They are comfy - so much more so than the shoes for hire at the centre. They fit snugly and the velcro is incredibly strong. They're flexible and really grippy too. Great first climbing shoe .
It is the third time I am purchasing climbing shoes from Rock and Run.
This time I needed to exchange the pair as the size was too small. The exchange process was very straightforward and quick.
Overall, very positive experience.
